Get one specific palette with get_pal and visualize it with viz_pal:

my_pal <- get_pal(theme = "Twilight")
viz_pal(my_pal, print.hex = TRUE)

get_pal is smart, if you are using RStudio, it can find automatically the palette matching your current theme using rstudioapi, just type:

get_pal()

All available palettes

Customizing base graphics

To change the look of base graphics editheme uses the styles package. The function set_base_sty modifies the graphical parameters and the behavior of different plotting functions according to the selected theme.

set_base_sty("Clouds Midnight")
par(mfrow = c(2, 3))
hist(rnorm(100))
plot(iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Petal.Length)
barplot(1:9, names.arg = LETTERS[1:9])
boxplot(iris$Sepal.Length ~ iris$Species)
image(volcano)

Tip: Just like get_pal, set_base_sty is smart. If you are using RStudio, it can find automatically your current theme. Just type: set_base_sty()

Customizing ggplot2 graphics

The package provides a ggplot2 theme function theme_editor and scales functions (scale_color_editor, scale_fill_editor) to control the appearance of the plot.

library(ggplot2)
#> Warning: package 'ggplot2' was built under R version 3.3.3
pal <- get_pal(theme = "Clouds Midnight")

ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length)) +
  geom_point(color = col_fg(pal, fade = 0.2)) +
  geom_smooth(color = pal[1], fill = pal[2]) +
  labs(title = "Edgar Anderson's Iris Data",
    subtitle = "This is a demo", caption = "This is a caption") +
  theme_editor("Clouds Midnight")
#> `geom_smooth()` using method = 'loess'

ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length, color = Species)) +
  geom_point() +
  labs(title = "Edgar Anderson's Iris Data",
    subtitle = "This is a demo", caption = "This is a caption") +
  theme_editor("Clouds Midnight") +
  scale_color_editor("Clouds Midnight")
