ggplot and geom_sf not showing graticule and tick marks on world map

Question

I'm trying to get a world map using naturalearth data and ggplot2. However, the graticule and axis tick marks and labels are not showing on the x axis in the world map. AFAIK this problem used to be resolved with coord_sf(expand = FALSE) (I have old code that uses this), but it no longer seems to be working. I've got a workaround using a different format, but would prefer to be able to do it with sf data.

Any help appreciated!

library(ggplot2) # version 3.3.4
library(rnaturalearth) # version 0.1.0
library(sf) # version 1.0-1

map <- rnaturalearth::ne_countries(scale = 110, returnclass = "sf")

ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = map) +
  coord_sf(expand = FALSE) 

Shows gridlines when I change the limits of the coordinates

ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = map) +
  coord_sf(expand = FALSE,
           xlim = c(0,50),
           ylim = c(0,50)) 

Answer 1

Try deactivating the use of s2 on sf package:

library(ggplot2)
library(rnaturalearth)
library(sf)

map <- rnaturalearth::ne_countries(scale = 110, returnclass = "sf")

# Deactivate s2
sf::sf_use_s2(FALSE)


ggplot(map) +
  geom_sf() +
  coord_sf(expand = FALSE)
