R help - Jul 2011 - Lattice: distance of tick labels from axis line

Hi, I am doing fine editing on a lattice plot, now have the Y-axis title in
the correct position, but the tick labels are too far from the axis line. I
looked at the help documentation but could not find how to change this. This
seems to be easy to do in basic plots with "at=c(value1, value2,
value3)" .
Is there some equivalent in lattice? Thanks.

axis.components is a list of parameters for the 4 sides of a plot.
You probably want the left side parameter 'pad1':

  d <- data.frame(x=1:10, y=sample(10))
  xyplot(y ~ x, data=d,
      par.settings=list(
          axis.components=list(
              left=list(pad1=0.5))))

Thank you, this works well - overall, I now have pretty good control over the
appearance of the L-hand side of the plot and relative distance between axis
line, ticks, tick labels and axis title by adjusting pad1, pad2 and the plot
position in the print statement. I am sure it is not the best code, but I
will throw in the relevant lines in case anyone else has encountered this
problem.  

par.settings = list(layout.widths = list(ylab.axis.padding = 0.1),
axis.components=list(left=list(pad1=0.2, pad2=1.8)))
print(plot2, position=c(-0.0068,0.221,0.741,0.466))
