Value

Themed ggplot2 object

Arguments

font, size: Character and numeric. Base font family and base size for texts. Arial Narrow is set by default when the library is loaded; you may change it with Sys.getenv("LARES_FONT" = "X") or by using this parameter manually.
main_colour, hard_colour, soft_colour, plot_colour, panel_colour: Character. Main colours for your theme.
background: Character. Main colour for your background. Overwrites plot_colour and panel_colour.
no_facets: Boolean. Suppress facet labels?
legend: Character. Legend position: "top", "right", "bottom", or "left" You can also set to FALSE or "none" to suppress legend.
grid: Character or Boolean. Use TRUE/FALSE or a combination of X, x, Y, y to enable/disable minor and major grids.
axis: Character or Boolean. Use TRUE/FALSE, x or Y to enable X and/or Y axis lines.
clean: Boolean. Suppress grids and axis? Overwrites both parameters.
mg: Numeric. External margins reference.
pal: Integer. 1 for fill and colour palette, 2 for only colour palette, 3 for only fill palette, 4 for personal labels-colour palette. 0 for nothing.
palette: Character vector. Pass a vector with HEX colour codes to use a custom palette. If you pass a named vector, the name values will be used as fill and the values will be used as colour.
which: Character. When pal = 3, select which colours should be added with the custom colours palette: fill, colour, text (fct) - first letters.
...: Additional parameters passed

Why Arial Narrow?

First and foremost, Arial Narrow is generally installed by default or readily available on any modern system, so it's "free"-ish; plus, it is a condensed font with solid default kerning pairs and geometric numbers.

# \donttest{
data(dft)
library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(dft, aes(x = Pclass, y = sum(Fare), fill = Pclass)) +
  geom_col()
p + theme_lares()
p + theme_lares(pal = 1)
p + theme_lares(background = "#999999", mg = 25)
p + theme_lares(legend = "top", grid = "Yy")
p + theme_lares(clean = TRUE)
# }
