The ggprism package provides various themes, palettes, and other useful functions to customise ggplots and give them the ‘GraphPad Prism’ look.

Install

How to Use

See the Getting Started page for a quick overview of ggprism features. Detailed examples and instructions can be found below and on the ggprism website.

library(ggplot2)
library(ggprism)

tg <- ToothGrowth
tg$dose <- as.factor(tg$dose)

base <- ggplot(tg, aes(x = dose, y = len)) + 
  geom_violin(aes(colour = dose, fill = dose), trim = FALSE) + 
  geom_boxplot(aes(fill = dose), width = 0.2, colour = "black") + 
  scale_y_continuous(limits = c(-5, 40))

p_vals <- tibble::tribble(
  ~group1, ~group2, ~p.adj,   ~y.position,
  "0.5",   "1",     8.80e-14, 35,
  "0.5",   "2",     1.27e-7,  39
)

base

base + 
  scale_color_prism("floral") + 
  scale_fill_prism("floral") + 
  guides(y = "prism_offset_minor") + 
  theme_prism(base_size = 16) + 
  theme(legend.position = "none") + 
  add_pvalue(p_vals, label = "p = {p.adj}", tip.length = 0, label.size = 4)
