modthemes

The goal of modthemes is to collect a series of resources for plotting with {ggplot2}. Its objectives are, on the one hand, provide help for recreating modernist aesthetics (Think WEB DuBois, Le Corbusier...) in plotting and, on the other hand, provide any other useful resource for plotting. In the future, {tmap} resources will be incorporated.

So far, it consists of the following.

theme_dubois()

This ggplot2 theme, inspired by https://github.com/ddekadt/dubois_theme/blob/main/theme_dubois.R and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajstarks/dubois-data-portraits/master/dubois-style.pdf seeks to recreate the style of WEB DuBois in plotting with ggplot. Based on ggplot2::theme_minimal() It has a variant theme_dubois_classic based on ggplot2::theme_classic().

DuBois palettes

A series of colours and colour combinations to be used either in plots using theme_dubois() or on its own. Also inspired by https://github.com/ddekadt/dubois_theme/blob/main/theme_dubois.R and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajstarks/dubois-data-portraits/master/dubois-style.pdf
