Details

This is a relatively minimalist ggplot2 theme, intended to be used for making publication-ready plots. It is currently based on ggplot2::theme_light().

A word of warning: this theme may (and very likely will) change in the future as I tweak it to my taste.

theme_ggdist() and theme_tidybayes() are aliases.

Examples

library(ggplot2)

theme_set(theme_ggdist())
