Force the origin to start at 0?

[SHAESEN2]

Currently ggplot has an offset to start their labels. Is this considered good practice? Personally I would not like to see such plots when quantiles are added as it is difficult to see at which times these quantiles are reached. I propose to start at the true origin using + scale_x_continuous(expand = c(0, 0)) + scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0, 0)) in visR

I agree. I think this is related to the general defaults. See in the discussion here:

Happy to override the ggplot defaults.

Personally very much in favour of this, but I feel like this borders into the previous discussion we had about changing defaults in plots, no? Back then we decided against applying a better default ggplot theme as to not surprise the user with styling that was not actively asked for. If we take the step to adjust the lower axis limits, I think we can sneak in a better theme there as well.

Let us go with the expand option into visr.survfit and apply theme_bw as it originally was if everyone agrees.
