How to use

For a quick tutorial, check out Rafael Irizarry’s book.

Examples

  vs <- factor(vs, labels = c("V-shaped", "Straight"))
  am <- factor(am, labels = c("Automatic", "Manual"))
  cyl  <- factor(cyl)
  gear <- factor(gear)
})

p1 <- ggplot(mtcars2) +
  geom_point(aes(x = wt, y = mpg, colour = gear)) +
  labs(
    title = "Fuel economy declines as weight increases",
    subtitle = "(1973-74)",
    caption = "Data from the 1974 Motor Trend US magazine.",

Color palettes

Every colour palette shipped with ggthemes is shown below. Each row is one palette; the swatches are in the order returned by the corresponding palette function. This compact, data-derived gallery follows the palette-overview approach used by ggpalettes and the one-palette-per-row display in sjPlot.
