Hi Pedro,
You need to set the expand parameter to c(0,0) :
scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0,10), expand = c(0,0))
ggplot uses expand_range internally to ensure that you always have
some space between the data and the margins (and you should make sure
this happens in your plot too - otherwise it can be hard to see data
points on the sides)
