Is it possible to remove the top and right border from ggplot2 graphs?

You can add this to your plot.

+ opts(panel.grid.minor = theme_blank()) 
+ opts(panel.grid.major = theme_blank()) 
+ opts(axis.line = theme_segment())

Starting with version 0.9.2, it has optsbeen replaced by theme:

+ theme(panel.grid.minor = element_blank()) 
+ theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank()) 
+ theme(axis.line = element_segment())
