theme_mpinl_poster: MPI for Psycholinguistics ggplot2 theme, version for posters

In joerodd/mpinltheme: ggplot2 Theme Consistent with MPI for Psycholinguistics Corporate Identity

Description

Theme to produce plots that play nicely with the poster templates for the MPI for Psycholinguistics corporate identity.

There is another version available, theme_mpinl_general, with text sizes for other purposes.

This theme can be appended to a ggplot2 plot object. The theme is intended to be used in combination with scale_colour_discrete_mpi_nl and scale_fill_discrete_mpi_nl to use the recommended colour scheme. For continuous colour scales, we recommend scale_color_viridis.

It shouldn't be necessary to tweak the further. You might wish to use additional + theme() calls to further customise the appearance of your plots, for instance to control the placement of the legend.
