mediocrethemes

This package provides not particularly nice and, hopefully, not particularly ugly ggplot themes.

Installation

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

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("vincentbagilet/mediocrethemes")

Note that you may need to restart your R session once the installation is complete to be able to use the package. You will also need an active internet connection the first time you call set_mediocre_all or theme_mediocre.

Usage

This package provides both a ggplot theme and a color palette.

Users can set the theme and color palette for all plots in a document with the function set_mediocre_all placed at the top of their document:

library(ggplot2)
library(mediocrethemes)

set_mediocre_all()

ggplot(data = ggplot2::mpg, aes(x = cty, y = displ, fill = manufacturer)) +
    geom_col() +
    labs(title = "A very nice title", subtitle = "A disappointing subtitle")
#> Warning: The `scale_name` argument of `discrete_scale()` is deprecated as of ggplot2
#> 3.5.0.
#> This warning is displayed once every 8 hours.
#> Call `lifecycle::last_lifecycle_warnings()` to see where this warning was
#> generated.

Users also can set the theme and color palette independently.

ggplot(data = ggplot2::mpg, aes(x = cty, y = displ)) +
    geom_point() +
    theme_mediocre() +
    scale_mediocre_d() +
    labs(title = "A very nice title", subtitle = "A disappointing subtitle")

Additional palettes

Note that additional palettes are available: autumn, rainbow, green, hotcold, blackandwhite, coty, leo, portal, pem.

#> [1] "set_mediocre_all(pal = 'rainbow')"

#> [1] "set_mediocre_all(pal = 'green')"

#> [1] "set_mediocre_all(pal = 'hotcold')"

#> [1] "set_mediocre_all(pal = 'blackandwhite')"

#> [1] "set_mediocre_all(pal = 'coty')"

#> [1] "set_mediocre_all(pal = 'leo')"

#> [1] "set_mediocre_all(pal = 'portal')"

#> [1] "set_mediocre_all(pal = 'pem')"

Most palettes are divergent but can be turned into two gradient palettes, as described in the vignette.
