Themes for common discipline formats

[CB]

It might be a good idea to share ggplot2 themes, particularly where
journals or disciplines are quite prescriptive. Once I've found the
time to get a bit more fluent, for example, I'll want to put together
a theme to match American Psychological Association publication manual
standards.

Can anyone suggest where/how to share these? Does this happen anywhere
already?

Hi,

great idea!

One idea that's been in my mind for a while is to create a companion
package for ggplot2 like latticeExtra is to lattice. It could contain
such themes, plus custom functions that are not included in the
ggplot2 package (for instance Hadley posted a few utilities to deal
with the date format last week).

Hosting on r-forge makes collaboration very easy (just need to know
the basics of SVN). The packages are built for all platforms
automatically and the system supports the inclusion of webpages to
present the package.


Anyone interested let me know and i could create the project (i'm
already using r-forge).

Cheers,

baptiste
