Minimal, legible plot theme inspired by Josef Albers

Usage

theme_albers(
  family = getOption("albersdown.family", "red"),
  preset = getOption("albersdown.preset", c("homage", "interaction", "study",
    "structural", "adobe", "midnight")),
  base_size = 13,
  base_family = NULL,
  bg = NULL,
  fg = NULL,
  grid_color = NULL,
  mode = c("light", "dark")
)

Arguments

family: Palette family used by companion scales.
preset: Visual direction: "homage" (warm cream ground) or "interaction" (cool grey ground). Legacy presets "study", "structural", "adobe", and "midnight" are still accepted for backward compatibility.
base_size: Base font size.
base_family: Base font family. Plots fall back to the system "sans" stack; install the matching typefaces (Familjen Grotesk / Space Grotesk, etc.) and pass e.g. base_family = "Familjen Grotesk" for full fidelity.
bg: Override background color. Defaults to the preset's surface (the vignette sheet), so figures sit on the page rather than in a box.
fg: Override foreground/text color (default derived from preset).
grid_color: Override grid line color (default derived from preset).
mode: "light" (default) or "dark": the direction's night ground and ink, matching the page's dark mode. albers_vignette() uses it to render a dark twin of each plot.

Value

A ggplot2 theme object.
