[R-sig-eco] Having issue trying to get plot to have plain-white background

[Bruce Miller]

Hi all, This is not directly an R-Ecology question but neither the 
general R help forum nor GGplot forums has any responses.
This is an ecology based application however LOL


I need to save plots for a publication but can not seem to get he syntax 
correct to have GGPLOT use only a white background vs. the default gray one.

I have tried the various themes but nothing seems to work.
This is the existing code for the plot and followed by what I have tried 
to no avail.

Works with gray plot frame backgrounds


ggplot(polished, aes(x =Night, y = Time, colour = Species)) +

geom_point() +

**scale_colour_hue(l=40)+

ggtitle(label = ' Linderos temporal activity')+

facet_grid(. ~ Night) +facet_wrap(facets = ~Species)+

scale_y_continuous(labels = label_hours, breaks = break_hours) +

theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 270))

Trying theme bw does not seem to work!
I did also load one of the "themes" packages to see if that was the 
issue.  Not.

ggplot(polished, aes(x =Night, y = Time, colour = Species)) +

geom_point() +

**scale_colour_hue(l=40)+

ggtitle(label = 'Temporal activty')+

facet_grid(. ~ Night) +facet_wrap(facets = ~Species)+

scale_y_continuous(labels = label_hours, breaks = break_hours) +

*theme_b**w*(axis.text.x=element_text(angle = 270))


Any guidance on correct syntax/usage to plot clean-white plot back 
ground  welcomed.

Bruce
