Details

theme_gray: The signature ggplot2 theme with a grey background and white gridlines, designed to put the data forward yet make comparisons easy.
theme_bw: The classic dark-on-light ggplot2 theme. May work better for presentations displayed with a projector.
theme_linedraw: A theme with only black lines of various widths on white backgrounds, reminiscent of a line drawings. Serves a purpose similar to theme_bw. Note that this theme has some very thin lines (<< 1 pt) which some journals may refuse.
theme_light: A theme similar to theme_linedraw but with light grey lines and axes, to direct more attention towards the data.
theme_dark: The dark cousin of theme_light, with similar line sizes but a dark background. Useful to make thin coloured lines pop out.
theme_minimal: A minimalistic theme with no background annotations.
theme_classic: A classic-looking theme, with x and y axis lines and no gridlines.
theme_void: A completely empty theme.
