[R-sig-Geo] Avoid axis labels, ticks and marks in ggRGB() plot

Yes! Thanks!
I knew there had to be a better way. For my set of plots I can set
t <- theme(
  axis.text = element_blank(),
  axis.ticks = element_blank(),
  axis.title = element_blank())

and then

ggRGB(rlogo, r=1, g=2, b=3) + t +ggtitle("patatin")
