Theme inspired by FiveThirtyEight plots — theme

Theme inspired by the plots from FiveThirtyEight.com.

Usage

theme_fivethirtyeight(base_size = 12, base_family = "sans")

Arguments

base_size: base font size, given in pts.
base_family: base font family

Value

A ggplot2 theme object (class theme).

Palettes

The theme sets fivethirtyeight_pal() for discrete color and fill scales as the default palettes, so a plot draws in the theme's colors without a matching scale. A scale_*() added to the plot still takes precedence.

Examples

library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = wt, y = mpg, colour = factor(gear))) +
  geom_point() +
  facet_wrap(~am) +
  geom_smooth(method = "lm", se = FALSE) +
  scale_color_fivethirtyeight() +
  theme_fivethirtyeight()
p
#> `geom_smooth()` using formula = 'y ~ x'
