Apply Microsoft Themed Color Scales and Aesthetics to ggplot2 Plots

This function provides a convenient way to apply Microsoft themed color scales and aesthetics to ggplot2 plots. The user can specify whether they want a continuous or discrete theme by providing the `scale_type` argument.

theme_microsoft(
  scale_type = c("discrete", "continuous"),
  index = NULL,
  direction = 1,
  guide = "legend",
  fallback_font = "sans"
)

Arguments

direction: An optional numeric value (1 or -1) specifying the direction of the color gradient for continuous scales. Default is 1.

Value

A list containing the ggplot2 theme, fill scale, and color scale.

# Example with discrete theme
ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width, color = Species)) +

  theme_microsoft(scale_type = "discrete")
