R help - Oct 2001 - Spacing in the labels using xyplot()

We have a variable that we use to label bars in barplot() and to condition
on in xyplot(). Since the labels can be quite long, we use strwrap()
on-the-fly to split the strings into several "lines" separated by
"\n". With
barplot, this works nicely using text(), but with xyplot() it doesn't. In
the latter, the labels appear to be "double-spaced" compared to the
single-spacing in barplot(). Is it possible to close up the spacing in the
labels that xyplot() use? I can't see anything obvious in strip.default for
controlling this, so would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you!

xyplot() is in package lattice (which is still under development).
Use ltext() instead of text() to put a text into a trellis.device.
