Details

The function simplifies the process of theme selection in plotting functions by providing a standardized way to choose between several common themes or to use a custom theme.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Using a pre-defined theme
theme_to_use <- mStat_get_theme(theme.choice = "bw")

# Using a custom theme
my_custom_theme <- theme_minimal() + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45))
theme_to_use <- mStat_get_theme(custom.theme = my_custom_theme)
} # }
