R help - Mar 2011 - lattice: How to increase space between ticks and labels of z-axis?

Dear expeRts,

How can I increase the space between the ticks and the labels in the wireframe
plot
below? I tried some variations with par.settings=list(..) but it just didn't
work.

Many thanks,

Marius



library(lattice)

u <- seq(0, 1, length.out=20)
grid <- expand.grid(x=u, y=u)
z <- apply(grid, 1, function(x) 1/(x[1]*x[2]+0.0001))

wireframe(z~grid[,1]*grid[,2], aspect=1, scales=list(col=1, arrows=FALSE))

Marius,

I tried setting the 'distance' parameter, but that was less
than satisfactory. One way is to modify the labels appropriately:

  z_at <- seq(2000,10000,2000)
  z_labs <- paste(z_at, "    ", sep="")

which tacks on some spaces, and then plot:

  wireframe(z~grid[,1]*grid[,2],
   aspect=1,
   scales = list(arrows = FALSE,
                 z = list(at = z_at, lab = z_labs)
   ),
   zlab = list("z", hjust = 3),
   ylab = list(rot = -40),
   xlab = list(rot = 30)
)
