minithemes

The minithemes package provides some simple themes, and palettes for ggplot2, including conditional themes that optimize grid lines and palettes and key glyph markers from W.E.B. Dubois’s visualizations.

Installation

You can install the development version of minithemes from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("jmclawson/minithemes")

Example

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

library(minithemes)
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)

# Showing automated grid lines, Dubois key glyphs, and Dubois palette.
mtcars |>
  mutate(cyl = factor(cyl)) |>
  ggplot(aes(mpg, cyl, fill = cyl)) +
  geom_boxplot(key_glyph = "dubois") +
  theme_mini() +
  scale_fill_dubois()

# Conditional grid lines toggle for both orientations.
mtcars |>
  mutate(cyl = factor(cyl)) |>
  ggplot(aes(cyl, mpg, fill = cyl)) +
  geom_boxplot(key_glyph = "dubois") +
  theme_mini() +
  scale_fill_dubois()
