Hello, I run R on Windows 2000. When I load lattice library and plot some lme class objects, the graphic window displays a dark-green color. Graphics look ok on the screen, but lines and points become invisible whem I send the plot to a printer because of the background color. Are there ways to reset the background color? Both par(bg=) and windows() do not work. Any ideas?

Any ideas?Richard, I have found the same doing some plots yesterday, only that I saved the plot to a postscript file from the graphics window for inclusion in a LaTeX report. The only way I could get the background to be white was by using trellis.device(postscript,file="lattice1.ps",color=TRUE,bg="white") ... dev.off() which seems to work fine.

Both par(bg=) and windows() do not work. Any ideas?You can open a trellis device directly, specifying color=F; see help(trellis.device). This is a good solution if you are satisfied with monochrome printed plots.

The device that starts up by default is not meant for
printing; for that you should explicitly start a new
device. And this should be done by calling the
trellis.device() function. This function has a
parameter called bg. So, to start a pdf device with a
white background, try
trellis.device("pdf", bg = "white")
Just calling
trellis.device(bg = "white")
should start a windows() device with a white
background, if that's what you want.
