[R] ggplot2 - expand range?

[Pedro de Barros]

Thanks!!!!!

I thought expand was already set to c(0,0) when not specifying it.

I agree I must be careful with the space left, but if a scale starts 
on 0, it becomes somewhat strange to see the axis start somewhere on 
negatives...
This is my problem. Normally the issue with extra space will arise on 
the top and right-side of the plots, not on the bottom or left side 
where the axes cross. But maybe there is another way to get this... Any hints?

Thanks again,
Pedro
