Use this page to choose a visual direction before you retrofit or create vignettes. You can tune one parameter at a time and immediately see the effect on hierarchy, contrast, and page rhythm.
Start with family and preset, then tune style, then adjust content width. That order gives the fastest path to a coherent page.
## How Do You Use It? 1. Pick a family for color character. 2. Pick a preset for ground/surface mood. 3. Toggle style intensity to set structural emphasis. 4. Adjust content width to match prose density.

family=red | preset=study | style=minimal | width=80ch

## What Does Each Control Change? - `family`: accent hue and contrast character for links, rules, and highlights. - `preset`: background/surface/ink system (light analytical to dark editorial). - `style`: structural weight (`minimal`, `balanced`, `assertive`). - `content_width`: reading measure in `ch` units. ## Can You Validate The Palette Quickly? ```{r palette-check} pal <- albersdown::albers_palette(params$family) stopifnot( identical(names(pal), c("A900", "A700", "A500", "A300")), all(nzchar(unname(pal))) ) knitr::kable(data.frame(tone = names(pal), hex = unname(pal)), format = "html") ``` ## Copy Into YAML ```yaml params: family: red preset: study base_size: 13 content_width: 80 style: minimal ``` ## Example Plot ```{r example-plot} mtcars$grp <- factor(mtcars$cyl) stopifnot(length(levels(mtcars$grp)) >= 3) ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg, colour = grp)) + geom_point(size = 2.2) + labs( title = "Theme Lab preview", subtitle = "Tune family + preset + style, then copy YAML" ) ```
