New examples for theme_*() #2721
Conversation
Update the example used in the "complete themes" help page (`ggtheme`). I extended the current `mtcars` example to use more (all?) of the features which themes affect: title, subtitle, tag, caption, and both x- and y-facets.
There are now two plot examples. One with no facets, and one with 2x2 facets. The latter is enclosed in `\donttest{}` to keep R CMD check from complaining about the runtime.
The `mtcars` dataset may not be the best for this, but I wanted to keep it close to the orginal example, and the data isn't as important in this example.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nice! The additional labels and facetting certainly make for nicer examples. However, as none of the complete themes differ in font family or colour or size, the title, tag, subtitle, and caption elements don’t exhibit any differences across plots, except minor positional adjustments when using theme_void(). These elements should be showcased but perhaps are better suited elsewhere in themes documentation? Some are already explored in theme.r examples but not all, so perhaps this example construction could be applied there instead/as well.

So I think that the purpose of these examples is to different than that of the examples in
I would have expected that to be the case, but without an example that uses the full capabilities of the themes, this wouldn't have been obvious. |

Awesome! Thanks! |
