Remove background in FeaturePlot

[ogarmar3]

Hello,

I'm plotting gene expression on tSNE using FeaturePlot, Seurat v.2.3.3.
How can I remove the grey background grid?

I need just plain white background, but I can't find a way to do it.

Thank you!

Seurat plots are just ggplot2 plots. You can adjust the theming as needed, for example:

yourplot = FeaturePlot(...) + ggplot2::theme_classic()

Hi Marcos,

If you pass do.return = TRUE, you can get the ggplot2 object returned to you. This allows you to manipulate the plot using standard ggplot2 functions. In your case, I suggest looking at the theme function

It works. I'm learning about ggplot2 now.

Thank you!

Hi @ogarmar3,
I'm wondering how you solved the problem.
I just came up with the same question.
I tried FeaturePlot(...) + ggplot2::theme_classic(), but it returned 'NULL' and the figure showed no changes.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Many thanks!
Best,
