Renko plot type

[phicyclist]

Great start so far, solid selection of plot types. There is a group of plot types that are not defined by consistent periods of time. One of these is Renko.

It would be a fantastic benefit having the ability to simply specify:
mpf.plot(df, type='renko')

Sounds like a good addition to this package. Will put it on the TODO list. Thanks for the references; will make it easier. (As always, coding contributions are also welcome). Thanks.

Is this feature currently being worked on? I would be interested in giving it a shot if it isn't already being implemented.

[DanielGoldfarb]

@coffincw Caleb- No one is currently working on this, so please feel free to give it a shot.

When you have a good idea of how you want to implement this, before you get too far along, please communicate with me (description or pseudo-code or code). There are a couple of enhancements currently in-flight, and I would like us to coordinate so that we can avoid, or minimize, any design or merge challenges.

Again, thank you so much for contributing to this project!

All the best! --Daniel

You're welcome! I've had a lot of fun contributing!
