wsjplot - Style Time Series Plots Like the Wall Street Journal
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?
