publish: Publication ready theme

In jrijn/streamlineR: Streamline Data Analysis with R

Publication ready theme

Description

Create a publication ready theme based on the ggpubr() package. The publish() function is a customized version of theme_bw() adjusted to my personal preference.

Usage

publish(
  base_size = 12,
  base_family = "sans",
  border = TRUE,
  margin = TRUE,
  legend = c("right", "top", "bottom", "left", "none"),
  x.text.angle = 0,
  flip = FALSE,
  major_grid = TRUE,
  minor_grid = FALSE,
  facet_fill = "grey75",
  facet_color = NA,
  facet_text_color = "white",
  base_line_size = 0.5,
  base_rect_size = 1,
  aspect.ratio = 1
)

Arguments

base_size	base font size
base_family	base font family
border	logical value. Default is TRUE. If TRUE, add panel border.
margin	logical value. Default is TRUE. If FALSE, reduce plot margin.
legend	character specifying legend position. Allowed values are one of c("top", "bottom", "left", "right", "none"). Default is "top" side position. to remove the legend use legend = "none". Legend position can be also specified using a numeric vector c(x, y). In this case it is possible to position the legend inside the plotting area. x and y are the coordinates of the legend box. Their values should be between 0 and 1. c(0,0) corresponds to the "bottom left" and c(1,1) corresponds to the "top right" position. For instance use legend = c(0.8, 0.2).
x.text.angle	Rotation angle of x axis tick labels. Default value is 0. Use 90 for vertical text.
flip	logical. If TRUE, grid lines are added to y axis instead of x axis.
major_grid	logical. If TRUE, major grid lines are added.
minor_grid	logical. If TRUE, minor grid lines are added.
facet_fill	fill color for facet strips. Defaults to "grey75".
facet_color	border color for facet strips. Defaults to "NA".
facet_text_color	text color for facet strips. Defaults to "white".
base_line_size	numerical. Specifies the default element_line() size for plots. Defaults to 0.5.
base_rect_size	numerical. Specifies the default line size for element_rect() in plots. Defaults to 1.
aspect.ratio	numerical. Specifies the aspect ratio of the plot.

Examples

p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = wt, y = mpg)) +
  geom_point(aes(color = gear))

# Default plot
p

# Use publish()
p + publish()
