History

Some time ago, lost through the deep arms of the internet 😎, I have found a great drawing with all the theme elements references of a plot within {ggplot2}.

But, as is well known, if you don’t save that, it will be lost forever.

Except when you have a great community on twitter, and there is a bunch of good people trying to help everyone!

Some time ahead…

I finally found it! Here it is:

Figure 1: ggplot2 theme elements references, by Isabella Benabaye.

I also found the post on her blog, with better quality images and/or a pdf file.

The history continues…

More interesting: actually, she had her idea after this twitter post from Henry Wang:

And, he also made a nice post about the subject (where you can download his version of {ggplot2} theme elements demonstration).

Finishing

That’s it, enjoy the creativity and good ideas from all these people, soon I’ll bring some more.

Thanks for the reading, cheers!
