#' @title Show colours in gov.uk colour palette

#' @param x Either an integer in which case: display \code{gov_cols(1:x)}

#' Can also be specified manually: see examples.

#' @title \code{theme_gov} A government theme for \code{ggplot2}
#'
#' @description \code{theme_gov} Provides a theme for ggplot2 to produce
#' government style visualisations in \code{ggplot2}. Incorporated into blockbuster package from
#' \url{https://github.com/ukgovdatascience/govstyle}.
#'
#' @details Builds on the 'grammar of graphics' framework implement in
#' ggplot2. Applying \code{theme_gov()} will adjust graphical parameters
#' to give a plot a feel more in line with gov.uk.
#'
#' @param base_size Integer. Sets the base size of text for the plot.
#' Defaults to \code{12}.
#' @param base_colour Character string. Sets the default colour of axes
#' and axis labels. Must be a named R colour or hexadecimal colour code
#' (e.g. "#FF0000"). Defaults to \code{gray40}.
#' @param axes Character string. Specifies the presence or absence of axes
#' Must be one of \code{n} (no axes), \code{x} (only x axis), \code{y}
#' (only y axis), or \code{xy} (both axes shown).
#'
#' @return Will not return anything of itself, but when used in conjuntion
#' with \code{ggplot2} and (e.g.) \code{geom_point} from the
#' package \code{ggplot2}, will apply styling to a plot.
