The easystats' minimal theme — theme

A modern, sleek and elegant theme for ggplot.

theme_modern(
  base_size = 11,
  base_family = "",
  plot.title.size = 1.35 * base_size,
  plot.title.face = "plain",
  plot.title.space = 1.8 * base_size,
  plot.title.position = "plot",
  legend.position = "right",
  axis.title.space = 1.8 * base_size,
  axis.text.space = base_size,
  legend.title.size = 1.2 * base_size,
  legend.text.size = 1.1 * base_size,
  axis.title.size = 1.2 * base_size,
  axis.title.face = "plain",
  axis.text.size = 1.1 * base_size,
  axis.text.angle = NULL,
  tags.size = 1.35 * base_size,
  tags.face = "bold",
  show.ticks = FALSE,
  ...
)

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").
show.ticks: Logical, if TRUE, adds inner tick marks to the plot and slightly increases the padding between axis and the related labels.
...: 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.

Examples

library(ggplot2)
library(see)

ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length, color = Species)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_color_see() +
  theme_modern()


# for a slightly better orientation, tick marks can be added
ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length, color = Species)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_color_see() +
  theme_modern(show.ticks = TRUE)
