In phildwalker/pdwtheme: My Personal Theme

pdwtheme

The goal of pdwtheme is to build out the framework for a consistent color and style theme for visualization work that I do.

Acknowledgements

Note: This is my first package: 1. A lot of it was built using the example written up by: @drsimonj (https://drsimonj.svbtle.com/creating-corporate-colour-palettes-for-ggplot2) 1. I have also been working through the R packages book as I have been working to try to figure out how to turn this into a package and is semi robust.

Installation

And the current version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("phildwalker/pdwtheme")

# or via 
remotes::install_github("phildwalker/pdwtheme", ref = "main")

Colors used

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(pdwtheme)
library(ggplot2)
#> Warning: package 'ggplot2' was built under R version 3.6.3

theme_set(theme_minimal())
## basic example code

# Color by discrete variable using default palette
ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Width, Sepal.Length, color = Species)) +
  geom_point(size = 4) +
  scale_color_pdw()

Another example of different palettes

Using the mixed palette

# Fill by discrete variable with different palette + remove legend (guide)
ggplot(mpg, aes(manufacturer, fill = manufacturer)) +
    geom_bar() +
    theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1)) +
    scale_fill_pdw(palette = "mixed", guide = "none")

Using the main palette

# Fill by discrete variable with different palette + remove legend (guide)
ggplot(mpg, aes(manufacturer, fill = manufacturer)) +
    geom_bar() +
    theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1)) +
    scale_fill_pdw(palette = "main", guide = "none")
