In tadaadata/tadaathemes: Neato 'ggplot2' Themes
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.
