There is work in progress to alleviate that problem, but it is still being worked on and it may be a little while before it becomes publicly available. That could mean anywhere from a few days to a few months. I don't know what is the current status wrt the project. > As you have already mentioned ggsave can save the image as I want to and > that is what I am using now. > One minor issue (as you have also mentioned is to remove they gray border > between the x and y legend and the red and blue area. See scale_continuous and look at the expand = argument; something like scale_x_continuous(expand = c(0, 0)) + scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0, 0)) might be what you need, but try it for yourself.
