## ggplot2 themes

### Description

Themes set the general aspect of the plot such as the colour of the background, gridlines, the size and colour of fonts.

### Usage

    theme_grey(base_size = 11, base_family = "")

    theme_gray(base_size = 11, base_family = "")

    theme_bw(base_size = 12, base_family = "")

    theme_linedraw(base_size = 12, base_family = "")

    theme_light(base_size = 12, base_family = "")

    theme_minimal(base_size = 12, base_family = "")

    theme_classic(base_size = 12, base_family = "")

    theme_dark(base_size = 12, base_family = "")

    theme_void(base_size = 12, base_family = "")

### Arguments

`base_size` | base font size
`base_family` | base font family

### Details

`theme_gray`

  The signature ggplot2 theme with a grey background and white gridlines, designed to put the data forward yet make comparisons easy.

`theme_bw`

  The classic dark-on-light ggplot2 theme. May work better for presentations displayed with a projector.

`theme_linedraw`

  A theme with only black lines of various widths on white backgrounds, reminiscent of a line drawings. Serves a purpose similar to `theme_bw`. Note that this theme has some very thin lines (<< 1 pt) which some journals may refuse.

`theme_light`

  A theme similar to `theme_linedraw` but with light grey lines and axes, to direct more attention towards the data.

`theme_dark`

  The dark cousin of `theme_light`, with similar line sizes but a dark background. Useful to make thin coloured lines pop out.

`theme_minimal`

  A minimalistic theme with no background annotations.

`theme_classic`

  A classic-looking theme, with x and y axis lines and no gridlines.

`theme_void`

  A completely empty theme.

### Examples

    p <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_point(aes(x = wt, y = mpg,
         colour=factor(gear))) + facet_wrap(~am)

    p
    p + theme_gray()
    p + theme_bw()
    p + theme_linedraw()
    p + theme_light()
    p + theme_dark()
    p + theme_minimal()
    p + theme_classic()
    p + theme_void()
