I know various academic journals, such as Nature, have standardized
requirements for graph formatting - standard fonts, axis line widths
(sometimes), etc. Or, heck, for those of us publishing in journals
that just use black and white, there are certain standard conventions
that work well for printing.

Rather than re-invent the wheel, has anyone made up any standard
publishing themes for different journals? It might be great to amass
them into a single library.

The only one I know of is in latticeExtra, there is an Economist theme.
However,
that is a good idea to have a collection of themes for different
journals.

Hi,

It would be great to build such a library of themes. I started the
ggExtra package several months ago with this intent, but never got
around creating good themes myself. Feel free to join the project and
add your own themes if you wish.

Best,
