The theme_default() function returns the default ggplot theme used by the bayesplot plotting functions. See bayesplot_theme_set() for details on setting and updating the plotting theme.

theme_default(
  base_size = getOption("bayesplot.base_size", 12),
  base_family = getOption("bayesplot.base_family", "serif")
)

Arguments

base_size, base_family

Base font size and family (passed to ggplot2::theme_bw()). It is possible to set "bayesplot.base_size" and "bayesplot.base_family" via options() to change the defaults, which are 12 and "serif", respectively.

x <- example_mcmc_draws()
mcmc_hist(x)
#> `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.


# change the default font size and family for bayesplots
bayesplot_theme_set(theme_default(base_size = 8, base_family = "sans"))
mcmc_hist(x)
#> `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
