Scaffolding theme
Description
Omit cartesian coordinate visual aids.
Usage
theme_scaffold()
theme_biplot()
Details
Geometric data analysis concerns the intrinsic geometry of data.
Analyses often use artificial or arbitrary coordinate systems that carry no
useful interpretation but instead serve as scaffolding, especially for
graphical elements like axes that represent other variables
(Gardner, 2001). In such cases, the visual aids (tick marks and labels,
grid lines) used to recover the coordinates of the row and column markers
would add unnecessary clutter and should be omitted. This partial theme
updates the current theme by removing these elements. The biplot theme is
an alias included for convenience and backward compatibility.
Value
A ggplot theme.
