These are complete themes which control all non-data display. Use
theme()
if you just need to tweak the display of an existing
theme.

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.
theme_test
A theme for visual unit tests. It should ideally never change except for new features.
