Black theme

This theme makes all background elements black and all foreground elements a colour of choice. Intermediate elements, such as strip backgrounds and grid lines are set to a very transparent version of the foreground color.

theme_black(
  base_size = 11,
  base_family = "",
  base_line_size = base_size/22,
  base_rect_size = base_size/22,
  base_colour = "white"
)

Arguments

base_size	base font size, given in pts.
base_family	base font family
base_line_size	base size for line elements
base_rect_size	base size for rect elements
base_colour	base colour for foreground elements

Value

A theme object that can be added to a plot.

Examples

mtcars2 <- within(mtcars, {
  vs <- factor(vs, labels = c("V-shaped", "Straight"))
  am <- factor(am, labels = c("Automatic", "Manual"))
  cyl  <- factor(cyl)
  gear <- factor(gear)
})

p <- 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.",
    tag = "Figure 1",
    x = "Weight (1000 lbs)",
    y = "Fuel economy (mpg)",
    colour = "Gears"
  ) +
  facet_grid(vs ~ am)

p + theme_black()

# Oscilloscope / Radar version
p + theme_black(base_colour = "green")

# Red alert version
