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.

Having issue trying to get plot to have plain-white background

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

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 On Sat, Jun 15, 2019 at 10:26 AM Mollie Brooks <mollieebrooks at gmail.com> wrote:

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.
