Lucid theme

A light, clear theme for ggplot.

theme_lucid(
  base_size = 11,
  base_family = "",
  plot.title.size = 1.1 * base_size,
  plot.title.face = "plain",
  plot.title.space = 1.35 * base_size,
  plot.title.position = "plot",
  legend.position = "right",
  axis.title.space = 0.9 * base_size,
  axis.text.space = base_size,
  legend.title.size = base_size,
  legend.text.size = 0.9 * base_size,
  axis.title.size = base_size,
  axis.title.face = "plain",
  axis.text.size = 0.9 * base_size,
  axis.text.angle = NULL,
  tags.size = base_size,
  tags.face = "plain",
  ...
)

Arguments

base_size

base font size, given in pts.

base_family

base font family

plot.title.size

Title size in pts. Can be "none".

plot.title.face

Title font face ("plain", "italic", "bold", "bold.italic").

plot.title.space

Title spacing.

plot.title.position

Alignment of the plot title/subtitle and caption. The setting for plot.title.position applies to both the title and the subtitle. A value of "panel" (the default) means that titles and/or caption are aligned to the plot panels. A value of "plot" means that titles and/or caption are aligned to the entire plot (minus any space for margins and plot tag).

legend.position

the default position of legends ("none", "left", "right", "bottom", "top", "inside")

axis.title.space

Axis title spacing.

axis.text.space

Axis text spacing, i.e. spacing between axis and the related labels.

legend.title.size

Legend elements text size in pts.

legend.text.size

Legend elements text size in pts. Can be "none".

axis.title.size

Axis title text size in pts.

axis.title.face

Axis font face ("plain", "italic", "bold", "bold.italic").

axis.text.size

Axis text size in pts.

axis.text.angle

Rotate the x axis labels.

tags.size

Tags text size in pts.

tags.face

Tags font face ("plain", "italic", "bold", "bold.italic").

...

Further arguments passed to ggplot2::theme().

Note

Base elements like plot borders, titles etc. are scaling with base_size, i.e. when base_size is increased, all other relevant elements are increased in proportion to the base size, to ensure proper scaling of the plot. Set arguments for the related elements explicitly to define custom sizes.
