.build_options {ggplot2}R Documentation

Set ggplot options

Description

Set global options for ggplot.

Usage

.build_options(opt)

Arguments

opt list of options to get/set

Details

These are aliased into every plot object, so that p$grid.col will return the default grid colour, unless it has been overriden for a particular plot object. You can change the global options using the function, or the options for a specific plot by setting the values directly on the object. See the examples for more details.
