On the first issue, there's a recent post you can find in the archives. It's from Deepayan Sarkar on January 2 this year. It would probably pop up on a search for "black white lattice" or something similar. The key part of his answer: I'd do something like this as part of the initialization: <<...>> library(lattice) ltheme <- canonical.theme(color = FALSE) ## in-built B&W theme ltheme$strip.background$col <- "transparent" ## change strip bg lattice.options(default.theme = ltheme) ## set as default Hope this helps, Matt Wiener -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Dean Sonneborn Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 2:53 PM To: R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] two issues I'm working on a graphic but have run into a road block about two issues. I don't have a color printer so I want to produce the graphic in black and white. I'm currently using this statement trellis.device(bg="white") but the body of the graphic contains color. What is the code to create the whole thing in black and white. The other issue might be a bit more tricky. I'm using this statement: auto.key=TRUE and in the body of the graphic I'm getting two different symbols and on the screen I see two symbols in the key but when I print it the key only contains one symbol for both! here's the whole R code statement: dotplot(chemical~adjlogmle| convert*tdnew, data=allrisk , group=rodentx, main="Interspecies Conversion", pch=1:2, auto.key=TRUE, scales = list(tick.number=10), fontfamily = "HersheySans") Thanks, Dean Sonneborn M.S.
