Hi, There's probably some simple way of doing this, but I'm just not seeing it - How do I get the background to be white instead of grey when I have a cloud plot (using the lattices package)? par(bg="white") isn't working. I'm assuming par commands won't work on lattice plots. What should I use instead? Thanks, Adrienne [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Dear Adrienne, I'm aware of a couple of ways to get a white background in trellis graphics. One is lset(col.whitebg()). I hope that this helps, John At 07:04 PM 1/15/2004 +0000, Mueller, Adrienne wrote:>Hi, >There's probably some simple way of doing this, but I'm just not seeing >it - How do I get the background to be white instead of grey when I have >a cloud plot (using the lattices package)? par(bg="white") isn't >working.

Try
trellis.par.set("background", list(col = 0))
Or you can explicitly launch the trellis device and set `bg = 0'.

When I first started using lattice I found the colour schemes a bit
confusing. So eventually I came up with the colours I wanted.
The code below was one of those attempts. One thing that happened
however was that I kept shutting down the graphics window that pops up
and the colours would revert to their default. So if you run all of the
code the first window will pop up correctly the system will pause for 5
seconds, close the window and run the code again. When the code runs it
reverts to the grey background.
Keep persevering because when it all comes together you can produce some
very good looking graphics.
Note: Not all the colours on the plot are set using lset. The text in
the key is set directly within the xyplot call.
require(lattice)
SetAltColBlue <- function(x=NULL)
{
lset(list(background = list(col = "transparent"),
add.text=list(col="yellow",cex=1.3),
add.line=list(col="navy",cex=1.3),
bar.fill = list(col = "transparent"),
box.rectangle = list(col = "grey"),
box.umbrella = list(col = "grey"),
box.dot = list(col="grey"),
dot.line = list(col = "grey"),
dot.symbol = list(col = "grey"),
plot.line = list(col = "grey"),
plot.symbol = list(col = "grey"),
regions = list(col = heat.colors(100)),
strip.shingle = list(col = c("steelblue1")),
strip.background = list(col = c("navy")),
reference.line = list(col = "navy"),
axis.text=list(col="navy",cex=0.8),
axis.line=list(col="grey50"),
superpose.line = list(col = c("navy", "navy",
"navy",

}

The help page for trellis.device explains this (clearly enough, I hope). Note that trellis.device() is called automatically when needed if a device is not already open. Deepayan
