[R] ggplot theme_update

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Hi Nameless,

You would have to add your code to the source of the ggplot2 package to make it permanent. But that not a vary good idea. 

Just add the line to your script and rerun it when you restart your analysis.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

Onderwerp: [R] ggplot theme_update

Hi, all,

I am a newbie for [r]. 

I am currently trying to learn this example. 
http://learnr.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/ggplot2-barplots/
http://learnr.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/ggplot2-barplots/ 

I know if I need to show the graph properly, I need to update the theme by this command:

*> immigration_theme <- theme_update(axis.text.x = theme_text(angle = 0, hjust = 0.5, size=20), axis.text.y = theme_text(angle = 0, hjust = 0.5, size=20), panel.grid.major = theme_line(colour = "grey90"), panel.grid.minor = theme_blank(), panel.background = theme_blank(), axis.ticks = theme_blank(), legend.position = "none")*

However, everytime when I close the r programme and run it again, I need to rerun theme_update again in order to show the picture properly. That is, the theme_update could not really update the theme after I close [r].

So, how could I change the parameters permenantly using theme_update?

I am tired to google for the theme_update for 3 days...

Hope some genius could help.

Thanks.
