Currently, all wrappers start in an Rcss prefix; probably to avoid accidental infinite recursion. It would be easier to use if it's just plot instead of Rcssplot; since this package will be attached after graphics we can just mask the plot function instead.

If we can easily add new functions to wrap, ggplot2::theme is an obvious candidate; here's an example of one: https://github.com/jrnold/ggthemes/blob/master/R/economist.R#L194

I don't want to re-specify the style sheet on every single line. This syntax would be nicer:

with(customStyleEnv, {
  plot(x,y)
  abline(model)
}) 

where customStyleEnv is an environment with plot => Rcssplot(x,y,Rcss=customstyle), abline => Rcssabline(,Rcss=customstyle), etc

I have some ideas about generifying the wrapper code, see here: https://gist.github.com/nfultz/2809aa1d9df4540bfbcc

It would also be useful to set/get a default for the Rcssclass.

It is necessary to add a couple of examples with the code to execute and the end result (the plot).
To be able to know about package and its potential in the development of software, algorithms, or results.

• Add to Readme.md some examples
• Add to wiki reproducible examples.

It would be nice to create a package vignette that exercises all the plots; it would serve both as documentation and as a test set as we develop.

In CSS, you have @print ... to add rules for hardcopies.

It would be nice to have conditional rules for specific devices, eg

  @pdf abline {
    lwd: 2
  }

  @png abline {
    lwd: 5
  }

This would help me use the same stylesheet interactively and in knitr.
