Well, I used gopt to set the following global defaults for my plots: > ggopt() List of 11 $ aspect.ratio : num 0.618 $ axis.colour : chr "black" $ background.colour: chr "black" $ background.fill : chr "white" $ grid.colour : chr "white" $ grid.fill : chr "white" $ legend.position : chr "right" $ save : logi FALSE $ strip.gp :List of 3 ..$ col : chr "white" ..$ fill: chr "grey80" ..$ lwd : num 3 ..- attr(*, "class")= chr "gpar" $ strip.text :function (variable, value) $ strip.text.gp : list() ..- attr(*, "class")= chr "gpar" - attr(*, "class")= chr "options" > Then I plot my stuff with p2 <- ggplot(knn, . ~ power , aes=list(y=log10(k2m/(degree*kSize)), x=log10(degree), shape=alpha)) p2 <- ggpoint(p2) p2 and I do not see any axis at all. The tick marks are there, they are black as they should. By the way, I already wondered why I can not change the shapes of the symbols in use. I figured that they are set statically in map_shapes. How about introducing an option for this somewhere? > > Currently, ggplot has no notion of major and minor tick marks (mainly > because I don't have a good algorithim to generate them), but it is on > my to do list. I definetly need minor tick marks and will hack my way through ggplot to acheive this if it does not seem to difficult to me. May you give me a tip where to start / where should I have to modify things.
