Customized Theme for Glyph Plots

Source: R/theme_glyph.R
theme_glyph.Rd

`theme_glyph()` provides a customized theme for glyph maps, built on top of `theme_map()` from `ggthemes`. It adjusts the plot's appearance, including the legend position, text styles, and background settings, to create a clean, visually consistent layout for glyph visualizations.

Usage

theme_glyph(
  control = list(plot.title = rel(1.5), plot.subtitle = rel(1.3), plot.caption = rel(1),
    legend.text = rel(1), legend.title = rel(1))
)

Arguments

control

A list specifying the relative font sizes for different plot elements. The list can contain the following components:

plot.title

Font size for the plot title (default: rel(1.5)).

plot.subtitle

Font size for the plot subtitle (default: rel(1.3)).

plot.caption

Font size for the plot caption (default: rel(1)).

legend.text

Font size for the legend text (default: rel(1)).

legend.title

Font size for the legend title (default: rel(1)).

Value

A ggplot2 theme object with customized settings for glyph plots.

Details

This theme includes:

  • Legend positioned inside the plot, at the bottom left corner.

  • Horizontal legend direction with `mono` font for text.

  • Centered plot titles with bold, `mono` font.

  • `mono` fonts for subtitles and captions.

  • White background for both the panel and plot.
