theme_gov A government theme for ggplot2, adopted from # https://github.com/ukgovdatascience/govstyle/blob/master/R/theme_gov.R

theme_gov Provides a theme for ggplot2 to produce government style visualisations in ggplot2.

Usage

theme_gov(base_size = 16, base_colour = "gray40", axes = "x")

Arguments

base_size

Integer. Sets the base size of text for the plot. Defaults to 16.

base_colour

Character string. Sets the default colour of axes and axis labels. Must be a named R colour or hexadecimal colour code (e.g. "#FF0000"). Defaults to gray40.

axes

Character string. Specifies the presence or absence of axes Must be one of n (no axes), x (only x axis), y (only y axis), or xy (both axes shown).

Value

Will not return anything of itself, but when used in conjuntion with ggplot and (e.g.) geom_point from the package ggplot2, will apply styling to a plot.

Details

Builds on the 'grammar of graphics' framework implement in ggplot2. Applying theme_gov() will adjust graphical parameters to give a plot a feel more in line with gov.uk.
