Quo Theme

An opinionated ggplot2 theme based on ggplot2::theme_minimal(). Viridis Quo!

Usage

theme_quo(
  major = TRUE,
  major.x = TRUE,
  major.y = TRUE,
  minor = TRUE,
  minor.x = TRUE,
  minor.y = TRUE,
  x = TRUE,
  y = TRUE
)

Arguments

major, major.x, major.y, minor, minor.x, minor.y, x, y

set to FALSE to disable grid lines by setting the appropriate panel.grid element to ggplot2::element_blank().

Details

Quo requires Lato, which can be installed on macOS using brew install font-lato.

Quo is designed to be paired with the viridis color scale, added by calling one of the continuous (c) or discrete (d) viridis color scales:

• ggplot2::scale_color_viridis_c()

• ggplot2::scale_fill_viridis_c()

• ggplot2::scale_color_viridis_d()

• ggplot2::scale_fill_viridis_d()

Examples

# adapted from ggplot2::theme_minimal()
library(ggplot2)
library(showtext)

font_add_google("Lato", "Lato")
showtext_auto()
# workaround for https://github.com/yixuan/showtext/issues/51
showtext_opts(dpi = 192)
