To use grid graphics with lattice, the help for gpar indicates that
any number of named arguments can be specified but where do we find
what names make any sense?
I have ascertained that fontsize is given in points such as one
would use in a postscript device argument and uses that same name.
It's not as I'd have thought, something corresponding to cex in
regular par() settings. Evidently there is a good reason for that,
but what I'd like to know is how do I set the font to italic? And in
general, is there a listing of what possible names can be set by
gpar()?
Thanks for ideas on where to look in the docs.
best

Hi> To use grid graphics with lattice, the help for gpar indicates that > any number of named arguments can be specified but where do we find > what names make any sense?Sorry, hadn't got that far in the documentation yet (plus the list is not yet fixed). The following should work: "col" colour for lines and borders, "fill" colout for filling regions, "lty" line type "lwd" line width "fontsize" the size of text (in points) "lineheight" the height of a line as a multiple of fontsize I don't think that different font faces are implemented in the current released version. In the next version, the following will also work: "font" font face> I have ascertained that fontsize is given in points such as one > would use in a postscript device argument and uses that same name. > It's not as I'd have thought, something corresponding to cex in > regular par() settings.

I could try including "cex" too if there was sufficient demand.
