When working on a quarto document in R, the ggplot
using geom_sf
usually produce white borders which appear in dark theme.
You can get rid of those what using #| fig-width: xx #| fig-height: yy
but it takes a lot of trials to find the right values. Is there a way of getting rid of the extra white space around plots ?

## wrong output
```{r test1}
library(ggplot2)
library(maps)
library(ggdark)
world1 <- sf::st_as_sf(map('world', plot = FALSE, fill =
TRUE))
ggplot() + geom_sf(data = world1) + dark_theme_gray()
```
## correct output
```{r test2}
ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = wt, y = mpg)) +
geom_point() + dark_theme_gray()
```
Following my answer to this related post dealing with xaringan
, you can achieve your desired result by setting both the background fill of the plotting device and ggplot
's plot.background
fill and colour to transparent

```{r}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(dev.args = list(bg = "transparent"))
```
## wrong output
```{r test1}
library(ggplot2)
library(maps)
library(ggdark)
world1 <- sf::st_as_sf(map('world', plot = FALSE, fill =
TRUE))
ggplot() +
geom_sf(data = world1) +
dark_theme_gray() +
theme(
plot.background = element_rect(
fill = "transparent",
color = "transparent"
)
)
```
## correct output
```{r test2}
ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = wt, y = mpg)) +
geom_point() +
dark_theme_gray()
```
