This article demonstrates how to set the ggplot2 theme to the theme_test in R programming.

You’re here for the answer, so let’s get straight to the examples…
Example Data & Packages
The following data will be used as basement for this tutorial:
set.seed(122665) # Set random seed data <- data.frame(x = rnorm(160), # Create example data frame y = rnorm(160), group = LETTERS[1:4]) head(data) # Print head of example data frame
Table 1 shows that our example data consists of three columns.
In this tutorial, we’ll also need to install and load the ggplot2 package:
install.packages("ggplot2") # Install & load ggplot2 package library("ggplot2")
Example 1: Draw ggplot2 Scatterplot Using theme_test()
ggplot(data, # theme_test scatterplot aes(x = x, y = y, col = group)) + geom_point() + theme_test()
Example 2: Draw ggplot2 Density Plot Using theme_test()
ggplot(data, # theme_test density plot aes(x = x, fill = group)) + geom_density(alpha = 0.5) + theme_test()
Example 3: Draw ggplot2 Histogram Using theme_test()
ggplot(data, # theme_test histogram aes(x = x, fill = group)) + geom_histogram(alpha = 0.5, position = "identity", bins = 50) + theme_test()
Example 4: Draw ggplot2 Barchart Using theme_test()
ggplot(aggregate(y ~ group, data, sum), # theme_test barplot aes(x = group, y = y, fill = group)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity") + theme_test()
Example 5: Draw ggplot2 Boxplot Using theme_test()
ggplot(data, # theme_test boxplot aes(x = x, fill = group)) + geom_boxplot() + theme_test()
Example 6: Draw ggplot2 Line Plot Using theme_test()
ggplot(data, # theme_test line plot aes(x = x, y = y, col = group)) + geom_line() + theme_test()

You can also find tutorials on how to plot different types of graphics such as xy-plots, density plots, bargraphs, boxplots, histograms, and line charts using other ggplot2 themes:
- theme_classic
- theme_bw
- theme_dark
- theme_economist [ggthemes Package]
- theme_gray
- theme_light
- theme_linedraw
- theme_minimal
- theme_void
