R help - May 2011 - ggplot geom_boxplot vertical margins

If you plot:

df<-data.frame(x=factor(1:100),y=rnorm(1000))
ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=y))+geom_boxplot()

How do I remove those pesky margins on the sides of the plot area?  Or
maybe just reduce their size to something more like the spacing of the
boxes?


Thanks,

Justin

Is this what you want? You can control how much space you
want to see on the sides of the plot:

df<-data.frame(x=factor(1:100),y=rnorm(1000))
ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=y))+geom_boxplot() + scale_x_discrete(expand=c(0,0))
