ggdarktheme: Complete dark themes

Description

These are dark versions of complete themes from 'ggplot2' which control all non-data display. Use theme() if you just need to tweak the display of an existing theme.

Usage

dark_theme_bw(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)
dark_theme_classic(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)
dark_theme_gray(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)
dark_theme_grey(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)
dark_theme_minimal(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)
dark_theme_light(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)
dark_theme_dark(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)
dark_theme_void(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)
dark_theme_test(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)
dark_theme_linedraw(base_size = 11, base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22, base_rect_size = base_size/22)

Arguments

base_rect_size

base size for rect elements

Details

`dark_theme_gray`: Dark version of theme_gray(), the signature 'ggplot2' theme with a grey background and white gridlines, designed to put the data forward yet make comparisons easy.
`dark_theme_bw`: Dark version of theme_bw(), the classic dark-on-light 'ggplot2' theme. May work better for presentations displayed with a projector.
`dark_theme_linedraw`: Dark version of theme_linedraw(), a theme with only black lines of various widths on white backgrounds, reminiscent of a line drawings. Serves a purpose similar to theme_bw(). Note that this theme has some very thin lines (<< 1 pt) which some journals may refuse.
`dark_theme_light`: Dark version of theme_light(), a theme similar to theme_linedraw() but with light grey lines and axes, to direct more attention towards the data.
`dark_theme_dark`: Dark verion of theme_dark(), the dark cousin of theme_light(), with similar line sizes but a dark background. Useful to make thin coloured lines pop out.
`dark_theme_minimal`: Dark version of theme_minimal(), a minimalistic theme with no background annotations.
`dark_theme_classic`: Dark version of theme_classic(), a classic-looking theme, with x and y axis lines and no gridlines.
`dark_theme_void`: Dark version of theme_void(), a completely empty theme.
`dark_theme_test`: Dark version of theme_test(), a theme for visual unit tests. It should ideally never change except for new features.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
library(ggplot2)

mtcars2 <- within(mtcars, {
  vs <- factor(vs, labels = c("V-shaped", "Straight"))
  am <- factor(am, labels = c("Automatic", "Manual"))
  cyl  <- factor(cyl)
  gear <- factor(gear)
})

p1 <- ggplot(mtcars2) +
  geom_point(aes(x = wt, y = mpg, colour = gear)) +
  labs(title = "Fuel economy declines as weight increases",
       subtitle = "(1973-74)",
       caption = "Data from the 1974 Motor Trend US magazine.",
       tag = "Figure 1",
       x = "Weight (1000 lbs)",
       y = "Fuel economy (mpg)",
       colour = "Gears")

p1 + dark_theme_gray()
p1 + dark_theme_bw()
p1 + dark_theme_linedraw()
p1 + dark_theme_light()  # quite dark
p1 + dark_theme_dark()   # quite light
p1 + dark_theme_minimal()
p1 + dark_theme_classic()
p1 + dark_theme_void()

# Theme examples with panels
# }
# NOT RUN {
p2 <- p1 + facet_grid(vs ~ am)

p2 + dark_theme_gray()
p2 + dark_theme_bw()
p2 + dark_theme_linedraw()
p2 + dark_theme_light()  # quite dark
p2 + dark_theme_dark()   # quite light
p2 + dark_theme_minimal()
p2 + dark_theme_classic()
p2 + dark_theme_void()
# }
