makeitprettier

The goal of makeitprettier is to create a set of visual schemes to:

generate visually consistent plots for the lab
make it easier for lab members to tweak plots for presentations, reports and publication.

Installation

The easiest way is using devtools to install straight from github:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("adomingues/makeitprettier")

Example

See the vignette for full examples by running:

browseVignettes("makeitprettier")

Very quickly, to add a theme to your plot:

library(makeitprettier)
p1 <- ggplot(readcounts, aes(x = readlength, y = N, color = Mapping)) +
  geom_line() +
  facet_grid(IP ~ Replicate)
p1
p1 + theme_poster()

And change the colors with:

p1 + 
    theme_poster() +
    scale_colour_ketting()
