Request to Add geom_raster Feature of ggplot2 to TidierPlots.jl

[Jigyasu4indp]

Dear TidierPlots.jl development team,

I was unable to find the geom_raster feature in TidierPlots.jl. It is possible that this feature already exists, but I might have missed it. Could you please let me know which function includes the geom_raster feature?

If it is not yet included, I kindly request that you consider adding this feature in a future update.

Thank you in advance for your help and all the excellent work on this package!"

Thanks for trying out tidierplots! Does geom_tile do what you need, or is there a reason you need geom_raster specifically?

I tried geom_tile, but it does not show the legend. Does it also support geom_sf? Could you please suggest a solution?

How can I show the color legend in this plot from this link and position it differently, while also having support for geom_sf?

If possible, please include the features available in this link: https://tmieno2.github.io/R-as-GIS-for-Economists/geom-raster.html.

geom_sf is unlikely to be added anytime soon (unless someone else wants to work on it!), since it would require an different implementation in julia and isn't part of base ggplot2. Makie does have support for maps so it is doable though.

Legend improvements will happen sooner - we have an active issue for that: #106
