Description

The package provides a collection themes for different plotting libraries, following the corporate design of the Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS) in Mannheim (Germany).

Installation

1. Download and install the Fira Sans Condensed font, for example from Google Fonts

2. Install idsThemeR from its gerrit/git repository:

   library(devtools)
   install_git("https://korap.ids-mannheim.de/gerrit/IDS-Mannheim/idsThemeR")
   

Examples

highcharter – light with IDS departments palette

library(tidyverse)
library(highcharter)
library(idsThemeR)
highcharts_demo() %>%
   hc_add_theme(hc_theme_ids_light(palette = "ids"))

ggplot2 – dark with default colour palette

library(ggplot2)
library(idsThemeR)

dtemp <- data.frame(months = factor(rep(substr(month.name, 1, 3), 4),
                                    levels = substr(month.name, 1, 3)),
                    city = rep(c("Tokyo", "New York", "Berlin", "London"),
                               each = 12),
