In this post, We’ll learn about {ggeasy} an R package by Jonathan Carroll. The goal of {ggeasy} is to help R programmers make ggplot2 theme customizations with simple-easy English functions. (much easier than playing with theme()) We use dataset generated by {fakir} for this tutorial.

Code

library(fakir)
library(tidyverse)
library(ggeasy)

# generate dataset

clients <- fakir::fake_ticket_client(100)

# rotate x axis labels

clients %>% 
  count(state) %>% 
  ggplot() + geom_col(aes(state,n)) +
  easy_rotate_x_labels()

# color the text and increase text size

clients %>% 
  count(state) %>% 
  ggplot() + geom_col(aes(n,state), fill = "orange") +
  easy_text_color("orange") +
  easy_text_size(25, teach = TRUE) 

# move legend position

clients %>% 
  count(state, source_call) %>%# View()
  ggplot() + geom_col(aes(n,state, fill = source_call)) +
  #easy_move_legend("bottom", teach = TRUE)
  theme(legend.position = "bottom")
