library("ghibli")Warning: package 'ghibli' was built under R version 4.3.2library("ggplot2")Warning: package 'ggplot2' was built under R version 4.3.1Today, inspired by this article, I want to try out the ghibli package of color palettes inspired by some of the famous Studio Ghibli animated movies.
For some data, I was looking at the demographics at Princeton University. I am to create a simple data frame with the proportion of Asian people in each of various populations found at the university.
asian_percent <- c(28, 27, 33, 31, 20, 11, 11, 14, 11, 12)
populations <- c("undergraduates", "master's students", "doctoral students", "postdocs", "assistant professors", "associate professors", "full professors", "non-tenure-track faculty", "senior staff", "all other staff")
df <- data.frame(asian_percent, populations)Here is a graph made with some of the ggplot2 default settings.
df |>
ggplot(aes(x = asian_percent, y = populations, fill = asian_percent)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity")
And here is a graph made with a palette inspired by the movie Kiki’s Delivery Service
df |>
ggplot(aes(x = asian_percent, y = populations, fill = asian_percent)) +
geom_bar(show.legend = FALSE,
stat = "identity") +
labs(title = "Asian Populations at Princeton",
subtitle = "Academic Year 2022-2023",
x = "percent",
y = "") +
scale_fill_ghibli_c("KikiMedium") +
theme_minimal()
In this quick exploration, it appears that the color scales can be applied only to continuous scales.
