The Graph

Code Walk through + Customization

Note: For some of these themes, you’ll need to install the ggthemes package. I also use the fill argument in my graph instead of color, and it can be hard to remember if you need to use scale_fill_X or scale_color_X! I also couldn’t get the custom font (Avenir) to show up in the flipbook, so just used the “serif” option.
