ggthemes is an R package that provides extra themes, scales, and geoms for ggplot2. It supplements the default ggplot2 offerings by allowing users to apply special themes (e.g., inspired by classic publications, external visualization styles), additional scale functions, and specialized geoms or color scales. It is often used to make ggplot2 plots adhere to aesthetic styles from famous news outlets, scientific journals, or presentation decks. Additional color scales and palettes for discrete and continuous data to match theme aesthetics. Extensive documentation and examples for each theme / scale so users can see how plots look and tweak them.
