  • What do you mean by "border region"? Your question is unclear.

It sounds like you'd like to change the theme of your ggplot. Lots of options under the hood. Here's a basic example to do what you're describing:



set.seed(42)
example <- data.frame(x = 1:100, value = rnorm(100))


library(ggplot2)
ggplot(example, aes(x, value)) +
geom_line() +

# here's where we set the appearance of the theme
# For more: https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/theme.html
theme(plot.background = element_rect(fill = "gray75"), # region outside plot
panel.background = element_rect(fill = "white"), # region inside plot
panel.grid = element_line(color = "gray90")) # bring back gridlines
