Additional Themes and Theme Components for ‘ggplot2’


This is a very focused package that provides typography-centric themes and theme components for ggplot2.

The core theme: theme_ipsum (“ipsum” is Latin for “precise”) uses Arial Narrow which should be installed on practically any modern system, so it’s “free”-ish. This font is condensed, has solid default kerning pairs and geometric numbers. That’s what I consider the “font trifecta” must-have for charts. An additional quality for fonts for charts is that they have a diversity of weights. Arial Narrow (the one on most systems, anyway) does not have said diversity but this quality is not (IMO) a “must have”.

The following functions are implemented/objects are exported:

Themes:

Scales (that align with various themes):

Palettes/Named Colors:

Spellcheck ggplot2 labels

       subtitle="This is a subtitley",
       caption="This is a captien") +
  theme_ipsum_rc(grid="XY") -> gg

gg_check(gg)
## Possible misspelled words in [title]: (Thisy, titlle)
## Possible misspelled words in [subtitle]: (subtitley)
## Possible misspelled words in [caption]: (captien)
