R help - Sep 2005 - Leading in line-wrapped Lattice value and panel labels

Version 2.1.1
Platforms: all

What is the trellis parameter (or is there a trellis parameter) to set the
leading (the gap between lines) when long axis values labels or panel header
labels wrap over more than one line? By default, there is a huge gap between
lines, and much looking and experimentation has not revealed to me a suitable
parameter to adjust this.

There is none. Whatever grid.text does happens.

grid does have a "lineheight" graphical parameter.  For example,

library(grid)
grid.text("line one\nlinetwo",
           x=rep(1:3/4, each=3),
           y=rep(1:3/4, 3),
           gp=gpar(lineheight=1:9/2))

Could you add this in relevant places in trellis.par Deepayan?
