[Tikzdevice-bugs] tikz: remove "white frame" around plot?

[Cameron Bracken]

Hi Matthieu-

So I fixed this: https://github.com/Sharpie/RTikZDevice/issues/41

The problem was we were using a separate border color for the outline of the background rectangle but the user cant set that in R, so it was always white. 

You can install from the github source for now or manually change the line you referenced to:

\fill[color=fillColor,fill opacity=0.00,] (0,0) rectangle (505.89,505.89);

which is what it will be from now on.
