Description

It would be great to let users customize more the plots from bayesplot to make them ready for presentations or other non-screen usage.

A functionality like rstan_gg_options would be great to have which allows for specification of options which are beyond ggplot theme options and go directly to the used geoms.

Research direction

Review the existing bayesplot plotting functions and the rstan_gg_options approach, focusing on how ggplot theme options are currently handled and where geoms are configured. Clarify which additional options should be supported and which plots they apply to; done means a defined, tested way for users to pass options directly to the used geoms.
