Overview

The goal of CMORplots is to provides ggplot themes and colour schemes for consistent figure formatting for CMOR outputs.

Installation

You can install the latest version of CMORplots from GitHub:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("uo-cmor/CMORplots")

Example

CMORplots provides functions to extend ggplot2 with a selection of colour palettes and plot themes to provide a consistent style for CMOR outputs.

Colour palettes

scale_colour_cmor() and scale_fill_cmor() provide access to several selected colour palettes. All included colour palettes are colour-blind friendly.

library(ggplot2)
library(CMORplots)

# By default, scale_colour_cmor() uses the 'Color Universal Design' palette (https://jfly.uni-koeln.de/color/#pallet)
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, colour = class)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_colour_cmor()

# This can be changed to an alternative colour scheme with the `palette` argument:
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, colour = class)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_colour_cmor(palette = "Vibrant")

To get a list of the available colour palettes by name, use list_cmor_colours(), or generate a figure showing all available colours:

plot_cmor_colours()

Themes

The only theme currently included is CMOR Classic, which simply replicates theme_classic() for now – tweaking of this theme and addition of extra themes for specific use cases is planned.

ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, colour = class)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_cmor_classic()
