Installation

gguniversity can be installed through GitHub

A corresponding colour palette with n number of colours can be generated for your ggplot2 visualisations, using the <university>_palette() function:

library(gguniversity)
library(scales)

exe_pal <- gguniversity::exeter_palette(16)

scales::show_col(exe_pal, ncol = 4, border=NA)

Examples

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(iris, aes(x = Petal.Length, fill = Species)) +
  geom_density(alpha = 0.8)+
  scale_fill_manual(values=gguniversity::exeter_palette(3))+
  labs(title="Petal length for three species of Iris", subtitle = "University of Exeter")+
  gguniversity::theme_exeter()
