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):

:dark

:ggplot2

:juno

:lime

:orange

:sand

:solarized

:solarized_light

:wong

:wong2

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.
