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

[Jhonny Capichoni Massante]

Hi,

I think what you need is just this:

myplot + theme_classic()

It gives you a complete white background, different from theme_bw(), which gives you a white background combined with a grey grid. Altaf�s solution gives the same output, but it is much longer IMO.

Best,
Jhonny

I find the following code really helpful to further play with theme_bw()

myplot + theme_bw() + theme(panel.border = element_blank(),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour =
"black"))

Cheers,
Altaf
