# TGAM theme

[![R build status](https://github.com/globeandmail/tgamtheme/workflows/R-CMD-check/badge.svg)](https://github.com/globeandmail/tgamtheme/actions)

This package contains a theme and colour palettes in The Globe and Mail's graphics style.

It's designed to be used as a companion to The Globe's data journalism template, [**startr**](https://github.com/globeandmail/startr), and its function library, [**upstartr**](https://github.com/globeandmail/upstartr).

### Installation

```r

install.packages('tgamtheme')

```

Or, if you want to run a development version, you can install it from GitHub by doing:

```r

devtools::install_github('globeandmail/tgamtheme')

library(tgamtheme)

```

### Usage

```r

mtcars %>%

  rownames_to_column() %>%

  ggplot(aes(x = reorder(rowname, mpg), y = mpg)) +

  geom_col() +

  coord_flip() +

  theme_tgam(position = 'left') +

  labs(

    title = 'Fuel consumption for several types of vehicles',

    subtitle = 'Vehicle models from 1973 to 1974',

    caption = 'THE GLOBE AND MAIL, SOURCE: MOTOR TREND'

  )

```

There's also a palette, `tgam_pal`, along with `scale_color_tgam` and `scale_fill_tgam`.
