I want to remove margin from ggplot but again I am getting white border as in the image.

I have tried various options for plot margin but still margin is there.

    data <- structure(list(timestamp = structure(c(1598950800, 1598950800, 
                                               1598950800, 1598951100, 1598951100, 1598951100, 1598951400, 1598951400, 
                                               1598951400, 1598951700, 1598951700, 1598951700, 1598952000, 1598952000,

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data, aes(x = timestamp, y = length_mi,
                    group = Road_segment, fill = avg_tdensity)) +
  geom_bar(stat = 'identity', position = position_stack(), width = 5*60) +
  coord_flip() +
  scale_fill_gradient(low = "yellow", high = "red", na.value = NA)+
  labs(x=NULL, y=NULL)+
  
  theme(axis.line=element_blank(),axis.text.x=element_blank(),
        axis.text.y=element_blank(),axis.ticks=element_blank(),
        axis.title.x=element_blank(),
        axis.title.y=element_blank(),legend.position="none",
        panel.background=element_blank(),panel.border=element_blank(),panel.grid.major=element_blank(),
        panel.grid.minor=element_blank(),plot.background=element_blank(), 
        panel.grid = element_blank(),
        plot.margin = unit(c(0, 0, 0, 0), "points")
        )

After plot I checked margin using theme_get() and found all margins to be 5.5 points.

The white border is mainly due to the default expansion of the x and y scale. To get rid of this use scale_x/y_continuous(expands = c(0, 0)). Additionally I added axis.ticks.length=unit(0, "pt") to the themeto remove the space where the ticks will be plotted. Otherwise you will still get a small white border.

  scale_x_continuous(expand = c(0, 0)) +
  scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0, 0)) +
  coord_flip() +

        panel.grid.major=element_blank(),
        panel.grid.minor=element_blank(),plot.background=element_blank(), 
        panel.grid = element_blank(),
        plot.margin = unit(c(0, 0, 0, 0), "points")
  )
