Taught by Kyla McConnell (@McConnellKyla) and Julia Müller (@JuliaMuellerFr), PhD students at the University of Freiburg in Linguistics.

The options in ggplot's theme() are incredibly useful - they let you design every little detail of your graph. With just a couple lines of code, you can change the titles, labels, fonts, background, gridlines, and legends of your plots to customise their size, placement, colour, orientation, and more!

But these options can also feel confusing and overwhelming. Many of us struggle to use theme(), or need to consult Google every time to find the correct command...

After this workshop, you'll feel more comfortable with harnessing the power of theme(). We'll dive into text elements like titles and labels, as well as explore the options concerning axes, legends, gridlines and the plot background in a structured way so you understand just how theme() works.
