The examples below are taken from ggplot2 documentation and are intended to demonstrate the effect of the theme_trace() and scale_trace() functions.

Line graphs/time series

ggplot(economics, aes(date, unemploy)) +
  geom_line() +
  labs(
    title = "Unemployment over time",
    subtitle = "From July 1967 to April 2015",
    caption = "Data source: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/",
    x = "Date",
    y = "Unemployment"
  )

Scatter plots

ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) +
  geom_point()

Bar / column charts

ggplot(mpg, aes(class)) +
  geom_bar()

Maps

crimes <- data.frame(state = tolower(rownames(USArrests)), USArrests)

# Equivalent to crimes %>% tidyr::pivot_longer(Murder:Rape)
vars <- lapply(names(crimes)[-1], function(j) {
  data.frame(state = crimes$state, variable = j, value = crimes[[j]])
})
crimes_long <- do.call("rbind", vars)

states_map <- map_data("state")

ggplot(crimes_long, aes(map_id = state)) +
  geom_map(aes(fill = value), map = states_map) +
  coord_sf(
    crs = 5070, default_crs = 4326,
    xlim = c(-125, -70), ylim = c(25, 52)
  ) +
  facet_wrap(~variable) +
  labs(
    # multi-line title
    title = "Number of arrests in the United States\ndisaggregated by reason"
  )

Distribution plots (parametric and non-parametric)

ggplot() +
  geom_function(fun = dnorm) +
  xlim(-5, 5)

Densities

ggplot(diamonds, aes(carat)) +
  geom_density()

Heatmaps

ggplot(faithful, aes(x = eruptions, y = waiting)) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_density_2d_filled(alpha = 0.5)

ggplot(diamonds, aes(x, y)) +
  geom_bin_2d()
