Additional Themes and Theme Components for 'ggplot2'
Description
A compilation of extra themes and theme components for 'ggplot2' with an emphasis on typography.
Details
The core theme: theme_ipsum ("ipsum" is Latin for "precise") uses Arial Narrow
which should be installed on practically any modern system, so it's "free"-ish.
This font is condensed, has solid default kerning pairs and geometric numbers.
That's what I consider the "font trifecta" must-have for charts. An additional
quality for fonts for charts is that they have a diversity of weights. Arial
Narrow (the one on most systems, anyway) does not have said diversity but this
quality is not (IMO) a "must have".
There is an option hrbrthemes.loadfonts which – if set to TRUE – will
call extrafont::loadfonts() to register non-core fonts with R PDF & PostScript
devices. If you are running under Windows, the package calls the same function
to register non-core fonts with the Windows graphics device.
