[R] Mischief on legend when size=1 added to geom_line

[Felipe Carrillo]

Hi Arthur:
# Just move size outside 'aes' like this:
p <- ggplot(df1, aes(Year, PctProf, group = Group))
p + geom_line(aes(color = Group),size=1)

# to make the background white just use the black and white theme:
p <- ggplot(df1, aes(Year, PctProf, group = Group))
p + geom_line(aes(color = Group),size=1) + theme_bw()
