tidyquant theme

[mdancho84]

Hi @jrnold,

I'm the creator of the tidyquant package. I have a theme_tq(), palette_light(), palette_green(), palette_dark(), scale_color_tq(), and scale_fill_tq() within the tidyquant package. Would you want to include any of the palettes and/or themes in ggthemes?

Here's the link to the tidyquant package: https://github.com/business-science/tidyquant

Thanks, Matt

tidyquant looks really cool! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. However, I think the themes and scales for tidyquant should stay with that package. Is there a particular reason you wanted them in ggthemes?

Thank you! The reason is because I teach a number of courses and right now I’m having the students load in tidyquant (has a lot of dependencies) just to get the themes in a lot of cases. The themes are designed for business plotting. However it might be better to have these in a package like ggthemes to reduce dependencies and give a larger audience access to the palettes, scales, theme_tq(), etc.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Sure; that makes sense. I'm going to add you as a collaborator, so you can merge your changes into ggthemes and also continue to maintain the tidyquant themes.

Closing this because I'm not looking to add additional themes to this package. This is in maintenance mode where I'm not adding new features.
