Theme element control strip border in facet plot

[xi]

Dear group:

I wonder how to eliminate the box surrounding the strips when creating
a facet plot using a white background theme.

I tried " panel.border = theme_rect(colour = NA) "; not working. I
guess " strip.border" might be the theme element do the job, but it
doesn´t seem to exist...

Where should I change the setting?

#---------------------------
# A simple example:

pdata = data.frame(a=rnorm(1:100), b=factor(rep(1:5, each=20)))
theme_set(theme_bw())
theme_update(strip.background = theme_rect(alpha("lightgrey",1/9)),
panel.border = theme_rect(colour = NA))
qplot(a, data=pdata, geom="histogram")+facet_grid(.~b)
#---------------------------

Thanks,
Xi

Hi,

Does this do what you want?

last_plot() + opts(strip.background = theme_rect(col=NA,fill=NA))

Dear Xi,

You need to change strip.background. Fill controls the background of the strip, colour the border of the strip.

opts(strip.background = theme_rect(fill = NA, colour = NA))

HTH,
