Additional Themes and Theme Components for 'ggplot2'

Description

A compilation of extra themes and theme components for 'ggplot2' with an emphasis on typography.

Details

The core theme: theme_ipsum ("ipsum" is Latin for "precise") uses Arial Narrow which should be installed on practically any modern system, so it's "free"-ish. This font is condensed, has solid default kerning pairs and geometric numbers. That's what I consider the "font trifecta" must-have for charts. An additional quality for fonts for charts is that they have a diversity of weights. Arial Narrow (the one on most systems, anyway) does not have said diversity but this quality is not (IMO) a "must have".

There is an option hrbrthemes.loadfonts which – if set to TRUE – will call extrafont::loadfonts() to register non-core fonts with R PDF & PostScript devices. If you are running under Windows, the package calls the same function to register non-core fonts with the Windows graphics device.

Makes axis text labels flush on the ends

Description

A covenience function intended for basic, fixed-scale plots only (i.e. does not handle free scales in facets).

You need to pass in a ggplot2 object to this function. It can't be +'d in a chain of geoms, coords, scales, themes, etc. It also builds the plot (but does not display it) so if the plt takes a while (i.e. has lots of data or transforms) this will also take a while.

Usage

flush_ticks(gg, flush = "XY", plot = TRUE, cat = TRUE)

Arguments

gg

ggplot2 plot object

flush

either "X" or "Y" or "XY" to flush individual or both axes. Default: both.

plot

if FALSE then the ggplot object will be returned invisibly

cat

if TRUE then display theme() statements and copy them to the clipboard

Value

ggplot2 object with theme() elements added

Note

Intended for basic, fixed-scale plots only (i.e. does not handle free scales in facets).

Usage

gg_check(gg, dict, ignore)

Details

Current functionality only looks for misspelled words in the labels of ggplot2 objects. When misspelled words are found, a message is printed with the words and the label that they are in. No messages will be printed if there are no misspelled words.

Value

the object that was passed in

Examples

library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame(x=c(20, 25, 30), y=c(4, 4, 4), txt=c("One", "Two", "Three"))

Discrete color & fill scales based on the FT palette

Description

See ft_pal().

Usage

scale_colour_ft(...)

scale_color_ft(...)

scale_fill_ft(...)

Arguments

...

Arguments passed on to ggplot2::discrete_scale

aesthetics

The names of the aesthetics that this scale works with.

scale_name

The name of the scale that should be used for error messages associated with this scale.

palette

A palette function that when called with a single integer argument (the number of levels in the scale) returns the values that they should take (e.g., scales::pal_hue()).

name

The name of the scale. Used as the axis or legend title. If waiver(), the default, the name of the scale is taken from the first mapping used for that aesthetic. If NULL, the legend title will be omitted.

breaks

One of:

NULL for no breaks
waiver() for the default breaks (the scale limits)
A character vector of breaks
A function that takes the limits as input and returns breaks as output. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation.

labels

One of:

NULL for no labels
waiver() for the default labels computed by the transformation object
A character vector giving labels (must be same length as breaks)
An expression vector (must be the same length as breaks). See ?plotmath for details.
A function that takes the breaks as input and returns labels as output. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation.

limits

One of:

NULL to use the default scale values
A character vector that defines possible values of the scale and their order
A function that accepts the existing (automatic) values and returns new ones. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation.

na.translate

Unlike continuous scales, discrete scales can easily show missing values, and do so by default. If you want to remove missing values from a discrete scale, specify na.translate = FALSE.

na.value

If na.translate = TRUE, what aesthetic value should the missing values be displayed as? Does not apply to position scales where NA is always placed at the far right.

drop

Should unused factor levels be omitted from the scale? The default, TRUE, uses the levels that appear in the data; FALSE uses all the levels in the factor.

guide

A function used to create a guide or its name. See guides() for more information.

call

The call used to construct the scale for reporting messages.

super

The super class to use for the constructed scale

Discrete color & fill scales based on the ipsum palette

Arguments

name

The name of the scale. Used as axis or legend title. If waiver(), the default, the name of the scale is taken from the first mapping used for that aesthetic. If NULL, the legend title will be omitted.

breaks

One of:

NULL for no breaks
waiver() for the default breaks computed by the transformation object
A numeric vector of positions
A function that takes the limits as input and returns breaks as output

minor_breaks

One of:

NULL for no minor breaks
waiver() for the default breaks (one minor break between each major break)
A numeric vector of positions
A function that given the limits returns a vector of minor breaks.

guide

guide A function used to create a guide or its name. See guides() for more information.

n.breaks

An integer guiding the number of major breaks. The algorithm may choose a slightly different number to ensure nice break labels. Will only have an effect if breaks = waiver(). Use NULL to use the default number of breaks given by the transformation.

labels

Specifying overrides the default format (i.e. you really don't want to do that). NULL means no labels.

limits

A numeric vector of length two providing limits of the scale. Use NA to refer to the existing minimum or maximum.

expand

same as in ggplot2

oob

Function that handles limits outside of the scale limits (out of bounds). The default replaces out of bounds values with NA.

na.value

If na.translate = TRUE, what value aesthetic value should missing be displayed as? Does not apply to position scales where NA is always placed at the far right.

trans

(DEPRECATED) Either the name of a transformation object, or the object itself. Built-in transformations include "asn", "atanh", "boxcox", "exp", "identity", "log", "log10", "log1p", "log2", "logit", "probability", "probit", "reciprocal", "reverse" and "sqrt".

transform

Either the name of a transformation object, or the object itself. Built-in transformations include "asn", "atanh", "boxcox", "exp", "identity", "log", "log10", "log1p", "log2", "logit", "probability", "probit", "reciprocal", "reverse" and "sqrt".

position

The position of the axis. "left" or "right" for vertical scales, "top" or "bottom" for horizontal scales

sec.axis

specify a secondary axis

accuracy, scale, prefix, suffix, big.mark, decimal.mark, trim

See [scales::comma_format()] or [scales::percent_format()]

...

passed on to [scales::comma_format()] or [scales::percent_format()]

Details

The ⁠_percent⁠ ones set percent format for axis text and expand=c(0,0) (you need to set limits).

Why Roboto Condensed?

It's free, has tolerable kerning pairs and multiple weights. It's also different than Arial Narrow and the fonts most folks use in ggplot2 charts.

Why Arial Narrow?

First and foremost, Arial Narrow is generally installed by default or readily available on any modern system, so it's "free"-ish; plus, it is a condensed font with solid default kerning pairs and geometric numbers.

Building upon `theme_ipsum`

The function is setup in such a way that you can customize your own one by just wrapping the call and changing the parameters. See source for examples.

Gotchas

There are distinctions between font names and various devices. Names that work for display graphics devices and bitmap ones such as png may not work well for PostScript or PDF ones. You may need two versions of a font-based theme function for them to work in a particular situation. This situation usually only arises when using a newer font with many weights but somewhat irregular internal font name patterns.
