ggplot2 plot without axes, legends, etc

Question

I want to use bioconductor\'s hexbin (which I can do) to generate a plot that fills the entire (png) display region - no axes, no labels, no background, no nuthin\'.

Answer 1

Current answers are either incomplete or inefficient. Here is (perhaps) the shortest way to achieve the outcome (using theme_void():

data(diamonds) # Data example
ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = clarity)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = cut)) +
      theme_void() + theme(legend.position="none")

The outcome is:

If you are interested in just eliminating the labels, labs(x="", y="") does the trick:

ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = clarity)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = cut)) + 
      labs(x="", y="")
