Style Time Series Plots Like the Wall Street Journal

v0.1.0 · Oct 22, 2020 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Easily override the default visual choices in 'ggplot2' to make your time series plots look more like the Wall Street Journal. Specific theme design choices include omitting x-axis grid lines and displaying sparse light grey y-axis grid lines. Additionally, this allows to label the y-axis scales with your units only displayed on the top-most number, while also removing the bottom most number (unless specifically overridden). The goal is visual simplicity, because who has time to waste looking at a cluttered graph?
