Removing the Border of Legend Symbol

Removing the border of legend symbol

I think geom_ribbon was the problem. If we take its color & fill out of aes, everything looks fine

library(ggplot2)

# Some random data
x <- seq(1: 10)
y_pred <- runif(10, min = -10, max = 10)
y_obs <- y_pred + rnorm(10)
# Faking a CI
Lo.95 <- y_pred - 1.96
Hi.95 <- y_pred + 1.96
my_df <- data.frame(x, y_pred, y_obs, Lo.95, Hi.95)

m1 <- ggplot(my_df, aes(x = x, y = y_pred)) +
  geom_point(aes(x = x, y = y_obs, colour = "Actual"), size = 3) +
  geom_line(aes(colour = "Forecasted"), size = 1.2) +
  geom_ribbon(aes(x = x, ymin = Lo.95, ymax = Hi.95), 
              fill = "grey30", alpha = 0.2) +
  scale_color_manual("Legend", 
                     values = c("blue", "red"),
                     labels = c("Actual", "Forecasted")) +
  guides( color = guide_legend(
    order = 1,
    override.aes = list(
                        color = c("blue", "red"),
                        fill  = c("white", "white"),
                        linetype = c("blank", "solid"),
                        shape = c(19, NA)))) +
  theme_bw() +
  # remove legend key border color & background
  theme(legend.key = element_rect(colour = NA, fill = NA),
    legend.box.background = element_blank())
m1

As we leave Confidence Interval out of aes, we no longer have its legend. One workaround is to create an invisible point and take one unused geom to manually create a legend key. Here we can use size/shape (credit to this answer)

m2 <- m1 +
  geom_point(aes(x = x, y = y_obs, size = "Confidence Interval", shape = NA)) +
  guides(size = guide_legend(NULL, 
                             order = 2,
                             override.aes = list(shape = 15, 
                                                 color = "lightgrey",
                                                 size = 6))) +
  # Move legends closer to each other
  theme(legend.title = element_blank(),
        legend.justification = "center",
        legend.spacing.y = unit(0.05, "cm"),
        legend.margin = margin(0, 0, 0, 0),
        legend.box.margin = margin(0, 0, 0, 0)) 
m2

Removing borders and color from small legend boxes in ggplot2

You can use show.legend = FALSE where you want one geom-legend not to show up.

library(ggplot2)


ggplot(my_df, aes(x = x, y = y))+
  geom_point(aes(color="Daily values"))+
  geom_line(aes( x = x, y = mp2, color = "High risk area"),size=1, show.legend = T)+
  geom_line(aes(x = x, y = mp1, color = "Low risk area"),size=1, show.legend = F)+
  geom_ribbon(data = my_df, aes(ymin=l2, ymax=u2, color="95% CI"), alpha=0.3, show.legend = F)+
  geom_ribbon(data = my_df, aes(ymin=l1, ymax=u1, color="95% CI"), alpha=0.3, show.legend = F)+
  scale_color_manual(values=c("gray60","darkblue","darkgreen","black"))+
  ylab("My outcome")+
  guides( color = guide_legend(title="My Pred Trend",
                               override.aes = list(linetype = c(0,1,1,1)),
                               shape=c(1,NA,NA,NA),
                               reverse=T))+
  ggtitle("My Trend for this Area ")+
  theme(legend.key = element_rect(fill = "white"))

Remove or adapt border of frame of legend using matplotlib

When plotting a plot using matplotlib:

How to remove the box of the legend?

plt.legend(frameon=False)

How to change the color of the border of the legend box?

leg = plt.legend()
leg.get_frame().set_edgecolor('b')

How to remove only the border of the box of the legend?

leg = plt.legend()
leg.get_frame().set_linewidth(0.0)

For the matplotlib object oriented approach:

axes.legend(frameon=False)

leg = axes.legend()
leg.get_frame().set_edgecolor('b')
leg.get_frame().set_linewidth(0.0)

How can I remove the legend symbol for a SINGLE legend in Highcharts?

Set marker.radius for the empty series to 0:

    series: [..., {
        name: 'Collar',
        type: 'scatter',
        marker: {
            radius: 0
        }
    }]

ggplot2 avoid boxes around legend symbols

You're looking for:

 + opts(legend.key = theme_blank())

You can see lots of examples of all sorts of this stuff in ?opts. I couldn't remember off the top of my head which one it was, so I just tried a few until I got it right.

Note: Since version 0.9.2 opts has been replaced by theme:

+ theme(legend.key = element_blank())
