David,

   My attempts at adding lattice.options to .Rprofile fail. In that file is

lattice.options(trellis.par.set(list(
                 box.umbrella=list(col="black"),
   		box.rectangle=list(col="black")
                      )
 		))

and invoking R within emacs displays this warning:

Warning message:
In trellis.par.set(list(box.umbrella = list(col = "black"),
box.rectangle = list(col = "black"))) :
   Note: The default device has been opened to honour attempt to modify trellis
settings
[Previously saved workspace restored]

   Removing the enclosing lattice.options() produces the same error. In
section 7.1.4 I'm not groking the correct syntax to change the color of both
box items within ~.Rprofile.

   Trying a different approach:

bwplot(quant ~ param, data = b, main = 'Stream B Constituents', 
ylab = 'Concentration (mg/L)', xlab = 'Constituent',
par.settings simpleTheme(box.rectangle(col = 'black'),
box.umbrella(col='black'), box.dot(col= 'red')))
Error in setValue(col, "col", 1:6) :
   could not find function "box.rectangle"

I'm stymied,

Rich

1. box.rectangle, etc. are not functions;  they are (lists of)
parameters that are sublists of the par.settings list.

2. Read the Help for simpleTheme() -- it has a specific list of
parameters which is nothing like what you show.

Cheers,
Bert
