lato's Introduction

lato

This package is in early development. It probably will not work well for you.

It will also be re-named.

Installation

This package is not ready for CRAN just yet, but you can use devtools to be wild and install install the latest and greatest development version. To do so:

if(!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("briandconnelly/lato")

Example

library(ggplot2)
library(lato)

p1 <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg, color = as.factor(cyl) )) +
    facet_grid(cyl ~ .) +
    geom_line() +
    geom_point() +
    scale_color_hue(name = "# Cylinders") +
    labs(
        x = "Weight (tons)",
        y = "Fuel Efficiency (mpg)",
        title = "Just Buy a Convertible",
        subtitle = "Lighter cars are more efficient. Shave off some weight by\nditching the roof, and drive your savings to the bank!",
        caption = "Source: Motor Trend"
    ) +
    theme_lato()

lato's Issues

Rename Package

Lato is a reserved font name. Although this package isn't technically a font, I'd like to give the creators full freedom with their name.

So I need to re-name this package. Some possibilities:

summer: Lato means summer in Polish. summer isn't taken on CRAN, but I don't want to waste a good name on a theme
???

Function to update default geom fill/color for dark

By default, most geoms aren't very visible with the dark theme. Create a function that sets good colors using update_geom_defaults.

Fix margin above panel

Currently, the margin between title/subtitle is done on subtitle. If subtitle is not given, the title sits right atop the panel. Instead, put the padding above the panel.
