plotthemes.jl's Issues

new breakage in PlotThemes or Plots

error message: ERROR: UndefVarError: theme_palette not defined

Here is the offending (?) line:
co_pal = length(plcols) == 2 ? [theme_palette(thm)[2], theme_palette(thm)[4]] : theme_palette(thm)

That worked for months and months. Just broke with upgrade to Julia 1.5.2 and Plots v 0.28.4 and PlotThemes v1.0.3.

The name theme_palette is exported so I am stymied.

Where is the theme function?

This package used to work for me, but now it seems that it doesn't have a theme/plot_theme function any more? Was this moved to some other package or is there a new selection mechanism?

Deactivate themes/Vanilla theme?

Say I run :dark, but decide that my next plot should not be dark, but just good old vanilla Plots.jl style. Is there currently a way to accomplish this?

error regarding minorticks in surface plot with ggplot2 theme

Hi, I am getting an UndefVarError: minorticks not defined with surface plot but only with the ggplot2 theme. It is my favorite theme...

Just to make sure I didn’t mess up installing too many packages, I isolated an environment with just the following (I couldn't update GR to v0.54.0):

(SurfaceThemes) pkg> status

Here is a simple code to test all themes:

using Plots
gr()
themes = [
    :default
    :dark
    :ggplot2 # somehow throwing error
    :juno
    :lime
    :orange
    :sand
    :solarized
    :solarized_light
    :wong
    :wong2
    :gruvbox_dark
    :gruvbox_light
]

for j = 1:length(themes)
    theme(themes[j])
    try        
        display(surface(-2π:0.1:2π, -2π:0.1:2π, (x,y) -> sin(x) + sin(y),
                        title="Theme $(themes[j])"))
    catch err
        println("Error using theme $(themes[j]): $err")
    end
end

All plots work fine, the only one that gives an error is ggplot2.

Here is the full error stack:

Error bars in :dao theme

Hi,

I'm making some plots and I need to add error bars to my data.

When I use the following code:

using Plots, PlotThemes; theme(:default)

plot(1:10,rand(10),
yerr = 0.1rand(10),
marker=:circle
)

I get a really nice result:

I am able to reproduce the above with several other themes including :juno, :dark, etc.
However, when I use the :dao theme, which I prefer because it makes my plots look paper-ready, I don't see any error bars:

using Plots, PlotThemes; theme(:dao)

plot(1:10,rand(10),
yerr = 0.1rand(10),
marker=:circle
)

How can I resolve this issue? If the issue is with the source code, are there any quick fixes I can use?

Thanks!

Further improving `ggplot2` theme

First steps were taken in #30. But there is more to do.

• Colors: ggplot2 uses the HCL color scheme according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/8197706. This would probably have to implemented in JuliaGraphics/ColorSchemes.jl and then used here.
• Minor grids and minor ticks

More themes with a white background for publication purposes

Lovely themes, would be great to have more themes with a white background since it's hard to include non-white background themes in publications.

twinx() throws error in custom theme

Hi,

I'm trying to create a custom theme that has the usual settings that I would use in OriginLab for plotting. I've made a modification to wong.jl, and saved it as my own theme:

_themes[:custom] = PlotTheme(
    palette = expand_palette(colorant"white", wong_palette; lchoices [57], cchoices = [100]),
    colorgradient = cgrad(:viridis).colors,
    legend = :false,
    grid = :false,
    twinx(),
    xmirror = :true,
)

However, when I try using Plots with this custom theme, it fails to compile throwing an error about twinx not defined

Is there another syntax for generating a "full" plot (with mirrored x and y axes with tick labels) that could be passed as an argument in a custom theme? After looking over the source code, it looks like twinx() is a function that should be callable, but is maybe getting compiled after PlotThemes.jl?

Package compatibility caps

Ref: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/package-compatibility-caps/15301

black plot?

I would like to make a plot with :dark theme, but change the background to be entirely black.

If I do

using Plots
theme(:dark,background_color_outside=:black,foreground_color=:black,background_color=:black); plot(sin)

I get

Is there some extra property to set the background color inside the figure axis?

Support properties besides colors

It seems like this package has changed slightly from the last time I saw it, and it looks like a PlotTheme now consists only of colors for the various components (or maybe I'm reading wrong?). Specifying things like line width, gridlines, font sizes, etc. would be very useful.

3D Dark theme - cannot see grid lines

This is the plot I get when I do plot(1:10, 1:10, 1:10) under theme(:dark):

Ideally though, I'd like the see the lines on the xy yz and xz planes, like this:

Also, great package! :)

API to create custom themes

Hi! It looks like, at the moment, we need to use the PlotTheme type to create new themes. However, this type is not exported by PlotThemes. The add_theme function could also be great for that, but it accepts only PlotTheme objects. Maybe, adding the add_theme(name::Symbol; kargs...) and add_theme(name::Symbol, theme::KW) methods could solve the problem of the missing API without requiring to export PlotTheme. What do you think? Cheers

Update juno syntax theme

The :juno syntax theme can now be specified using Juno.syntaxcolors() to use the exact colors chosen for the current juno session. This could be implemented without a Juno dep using Requires.jl. JunoLab/Juno.jl#15 (comment)

Adding R's color brewer pallet

Would you consider adding the R color brewer pallete

e.g. dark2 pallete

dark2 = [
 RGB(([ 27, 158, 119]/255)...),
 RGB(([217,  95,   2]/255)...),
 RGB(([117, 112, 179]/255)...),
 RGB(([231,  41, 138]/255)...),
 RGB(([102, 166,  30]/255)...),
 RGB(([230, 171,   2]/255)...),
 RGB(([166, 118,  29]/255)...),
 RGB(([102, 102, 102]/255)...)
 ]

[FR] Atheme, similar to Mathematica's monochrome theme

Mathematica has a very nice theme in which: the first line is black, the second is black dashed, the third is black dotted and so on.

Such a theme is very useful for publication purposes, since most journals require a monochrome theme.

Theme :dao + twinx() gives wrong 2nd y-axis position

Hej.
It seems that :dao has a wrong indentation for the position on 2nd y-axis.
using this example:

theme(:dao) a,b = rand(120),rand(120); plot(a,legend=false, yflip=true,tick_direction = :out,ylabel="B [mm]"); twinx(); plot!(b,ylabel="B [mm]")

switching to :default i get the desired result:

ERROR: Unknown key: colorgradient

I have tried to use plots theme and I got this error:

ERROR: Unknown key: colorgradient

using Plots
theme(:dark)

plot(rand(10)

julia 1.0.5
Plots v0.27.1

PlotThemes in the Plots documentation

It would be great to have a section on PlotThemes in the 'colors' section of the Plots documentation

Should this be a dependency of Plots?

I could remove the theme stuff from Plots and keep anything theme-related here, re-exporting PlotThemes.plot_theme (or maybe just theme??)

Thoughts?

Juno theme the same as dark

I think this has been around for a long time, but the :juno theme palette

PlotThemes.jl/src/juno.jl

Line 2 in ff4082f

juno_palette = [

does not match the example in the README.md, and is the same as the :dark theme palette

PlotThemes.jl/src/dark.jl

Line 2 in ff4082f

dark_palette = [

. Not necessarily a problem, but perhaps consistency there might be nice.

Below is an example of how they look.
