Themes & Colormaps

geoplot-themes ships with several hand-crafted, publication-ready themes.

Themes

You select a theme using the theme parameter in plot_map_r().

• natgeo_minimalist: A clean, elegant, serif-driven theme inspired by National Geographic magazines. Soft ivory background.
• dark_matter: A sleek, high-contrast dark theme ideal for dashboards and digital presentations.
• retro_blueprint: A thematic layout resembling old architectural and cartographic blueprints. Dark blue background with mono-spaced fonts.

Colormaps

Colormaps define how your base data (raster or primary vector) is colored. Pass these to the colormap parameter.

• elevation: Classic terrain colormap transitioning from dark green (low) to brown/white (high).
• neon: A vibrant, high-contrast mapping scale ideal for dark_matter.
• blueprint: Tonal blues designed to blend perfectly with the retro_blueprint theme.
