This repository contains code and examples for making graphs in ggplot using the University of Exeter colour scheme and plot. The intended use is for conference presentations and posters using the University of Exeter branding. This has been produced according to https://brand.exeter.ac.uk/colour/

Installation

Ensure that the following packages are installed: extrafont, tidyverse, ggplot2, showtext. Then, run

library(devtools)

1. ex_theme, ex_green_theme, and ex_dark_theme, ggplot themes that set colour schemes and fonts for ggplots
2. All official Exeter colours from https://brand.exeter.ac.uk/colour/, stored in hex codes in e.g. ex_dark_green
3. Three palettes using combinations of the official colours: exeter_greens, exeter_palette, and exeter_full_palette.
