| Title: | Style Time Series Plots Like the Wall Street Journal |
| 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? |

Usage
label_wsj(prefix = "$", suffix = "", rm.bottom = TRUE, accuracy = NA, ...)
Arguments
prefix |
character, the unit label to prefix on the max number of the y-axis |
suffix |
character, the unit label to append on the max number of the y-axis |
rm.bottom |
logical, remove the lowest number? |
accuracy |
double, the precision for labels e.g. 1, 0.1, or 0.01 |
... |
args passed to scales::label_comma(...) |
