Introducing grid themes in {ricethemes}
If you have not already checked out {ricethemes}, check out my blog post introducing it.
Usually when making plots, I am not interested in the precise values on either the x or y axis – only the general pattern or trend. Therefore, I do not usually use grid lines since they are unnecessary and plots generally look better without them. However, on some occasions I want to know the value of a specific observation and therefore need grid lines.
I have now added a theme, theme_ctp_grid(), with four flavors in {ricethemes} which has grid lines. The theme is relatively minimal since it does not have any axis lines and only a single color for both the minor and major grid lines. I decided on grid lines for both the x and y axis to make this theme a bit more practical. The grid lines are in a slightly brighter color than the main background which is still the same as in theme_ctp()
If you have already installed {ricethemes}, update it with the following command to get the latest themes, which you can also use to install it if you have not already:
