Build Status

Primary author: Patrick Kofod Mogensen (@pkofod)

PlotThemes is a package to spice up the plots made with Plots.jl. To install:

Pkg.add("PlotThemes")

Using PlotThemes

Currently the following themes are available:

  • :default
  • :dark
  • :ggplot2
  • :juno
  • :lime
  • :orange
  • :sand
  • :solarized
  • :solarized_light
  • :wong
  • :wong2
  • :gruvbox_dark
  • :gruvbox_light
  • :bright
  • :vibrant
  • :mute
  • :dao
  • :dracula

When using Plots, a theme can be set using the theme function:

using Plots
theme(thm::Symbol; kwargs...)

theme accepts any Plots attribute as keyword argument and sets its value as default for subsequent plots.

Themes can be previewed using Plots.showtheme(thm::Symbol):

:default

theme_default

:dark

theme_dark

:ggplot2

theme_ggplot2

:juno

theme_juno

:lime

Contributing

A theme specifies default values for different Plots attributes. At the moment these are typically colors, palettes and colorgradients, but any Plots attribute can be controlled by a theme in general. PRs for new themes very welcome! Adding a new theme (e.g. mytheme) is as easy as adding a new file (mytheme.jl) that contains at least the following line:

_themes[:mytheme] = PlotTheme(; kwargs...)

The keyword arguments can be any collection of Plots attributes plus a colorgradient keyword argument.
