How to change the default font size in ggplot2

问题

I'd like to know if it is possible to change some default parameters of ggplot2 graphics, like font size for instance, for a whole R session. The idea is to avoid setting them for each plot.

回答1:

Use theme_set()

theme_set(theme_gray(base_size = 18))
qplot(1:10, 1:10)

回答2:

Use theme_set if you want to update for the remainder of your active session:

theme_set(theme_grey(base_size = 18)) 

If you only want to change one graph you can set the base_size in the theme:

qplot(1:10, 1:10) + theme_grey(base_size = 18) 
ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = mpg, y = cyl)) + 
geom_point() +
theme_grey(base_size = 18)
