Dracula for ggplot2

A dark theme for ggplot2 and R palette.

theme_dracula

theme_dracula() provides a minimal ggplot2 theme with a Dracula-ish, dark backdrop.

dracula_palette

dracula_palette() provides the more vibrant colors of Dracula to stand out in front of theme_dracula().

Params

palette <- dracula_palette(num_cols, var_type = c("discrete", "continuous"))

Param num_cols - Number of colors to return. If missing, defaults to the length of the entire palette.

Param var_type - Using var_type = "discrete" will return the number of colors provided by num_cols. dracula_palette() will recycle through the palette if num_cols > 7. Using var_type = "continuous" will create a color ramp with the number of colors provided by num_cols.

Examples

See the beginning of the README for the examples produced.

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
theme_set(theme_dracula())

# Left bar chart
mpg %>%
  group_by(manufacturer) %>%
  summarize(mean_hwy = mean(hwy)) %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = manufacturer, y = mean_hwy, fill = manufacturer)) +
  theme(legend.position = "none") +
  coord_flip() +
  geom_col() +
  scale_fill_manual(
    values = dracula_palette(
      num_col  = nlevels(factor(mpg$manufacturer)),
      var_type = "discrete"
    )
  )

# Right scatterplot
mpg %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = displ, y = cty, color = hwy)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_colour_gradientn(colors = dracula_palette(var_type = "continuous"))
