tadaathemes
The goal of tadaathemes is to provide a bunch of reasonably neat ggplot2 themes.
Installation
~~You can install the released version of tadaathemes from CRAN with~~:
# install.packages("tadaathemes")
Examples
Include a (compact?) gallery of themes (or maybe move them to a dedicated pkgdown article)
# library(tadaathemes)
Additional Resources
- r-graph-gallery.com: For inspiration.
- calligross/ggthemeassist: RStudio addin for interactive theme tweaking.
- metrumresearchgroup/ggedit: Another RStudio addin
- wilkelab/cowplot: Just generally useful.
- thomasp85/patchwork: For plot layouts.
Themes
- hrbrmstr/hrbrthemes: For the good stuff.
- hrbrmstr/ggexpanse: Everyone needs more The Expanse.
- cttobin/ggthemr:
- jrnold/ggthemes: A classic collection of themes.
- delabj/ggCyberPunk: For the cyberpunk aesthetic.
- briandconnelly/lato: Simple themes with Lato font.
- nanxstats/ggsci: For looking sciency.
- nsgrantham/ggdark: Dark version of ggplot2 default themes.
- datarootsio/artyfarty: Unmaintained, but good for inspiration I guess.
- schochastics/Rokemon: Pokémon themes.
- Ryo-N7/tvthemes: TV show themes.
- moldach/vapoRwave: Everything is better with some ＶＡＰＯＲＷＡＶＥ
- xkcd: Because of course.
Colors
- EmilHvitfeldt/paletteer: Collection of color palettes.
- sjmgarnier/viridisLite: Viridis is the (at least my) preferred set of color scales for continuous variables
- coolors: Make your own color palettes easily (useful for qualitative palettes etc.).
Plotting with fonts (and text stuff)
- wilkelab/ggtext: Markdown text formatting in ggplot2! (WIP)
- r-lib/ragg: Alternative output device which, among general performance/quality improvements, also eases the inclusion of system fonts.
- rstudio/thematic (WIP): Auto-theming depending on context, easy styling using rstudio/bootstraplib in RMarkdown/shiny/RStudio(!). The latter is also WIP.
- yixuan/showtext: For plotting with fonts, including the easy inclusion of Google fonts.
- wch/extrafont: Probably maybe required to use fonts for PDF output (using
cairo_pdf)? I still don't quite understand it, but extrafont::loadfonts() tends to do more good than harm.
