ggplot2 theme

[maelle]

From @stephlocke

• Charts should be bold, chunky,

• and contain no grid lines by default.

• Legends at the bottom.

• Titles and subtitles should be at the very LHS of the plot space.

• No axis titles by default.

• Default font of Roboto Thin

• Default colour palettes should contain the blue, orange, and grey

I'm not sure I understand what bold and chunky means here if we're to use Roboto Thin 🤔

Update:

• Still not sure about the font vs bold&chunky.

• Will add a separate function for colour palettes. I'm assuming these palettes will be for discrete variables only.

• Having the default geom color and fill in the theme isn't possible yet, but should soon be cf https://www.danaseidel.com/MeetUpSlides#sneak-peek-themeable-aesthetics

library("ggplot2")
library("lockeutils")
df <- data.frame(
  gp = factor(rep(letters[1:3], each = 10)),
  y = rnorm(30)
)
ggplot(df, aes(gp, y)) +
  geom_point() +
  ggtitle("wow",
          subtitle = "nice") +
  theme_ld()

ggplot(df, aes(gp, y)) +
  geom_point() +
  ggtitle("wow",
          subtitle = "nice") +
  theme_ld(base_size = 15)

Cool, I like minimal stuff by default and I prefer bigger fonts rather than smaller typically as it's kinder on people with visual impairments and/or high res screens

[maelle]

Ok will increase base_size.
