Hi Bruce,
I like to use this line by default so that all the plots have white
backgrounds.
library(ggplot2); theme_set(theme_bw())
I?m sure it?s also possible to use theme_bw() on individual plots somehow,
but I haven?t tried.
cheers,
Mollie

Hi all, This is not directly an R-Ecology question but neither the

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
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.
