  colour = "black", size = 1, linetype = 1)

colour

Details

Has ggplot2 display only specified borders, e.g. ('L'-shaped) borders, rather than a rectangle or no border. Note that the order can be significant; for example, if you specify the L border option and then a theme, the theme settings will override the border option, so you need to specify the theme (if any) before the border option, as above.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
df = data.frame( x=c(1,2,3), y=c(4,5,6) )
ggplot(data=df, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_point() + theme_bw() +
       opts(panel.border = theme_border(c('bottom','left')) )
ggplot(data=df, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_point() + theme_bw() +
       opts(panel.border = theme_border(c('b','l')) )
# }
