Hello, A made a xyplot using the lattice library in R (latest version). The publisher of our paper has requested: 1. all tick marks should point inwards instead of outwards. 2. All lines should be thicker (lines, axes, boxes, etc. Everything). Lines is easy...I used: lwd=1.5 but what about the lines of the axes, and the lines that build up the plot itself?....? Any suggestions? Kind regards, Piet Bell --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Look through the output of trellis.par.get() for the right parameters
or when all else fails use grid (which we use below for the
box around the panel since I could not locate the parameter):
library(lattice)
library(grid)
x <- 1:12
g <- gl(3,4)
lwd <- 3
xyplot(x ~ x | g, type = "l", lwd = lwd,
scales = list(tck = -1, lwd = lwd),
par.settings = list(add.text = list(lwd = lwd),
strip.border = list(lwd = lwd)),
panel = function(...) {
grid.rect(gp = gpar(lwd = lwd))
panel.xyplot(...)
}
)

Lines is easy...I used: lwd=1.5 but what about the lines of the axes, and the
lines that build up the plot itself?....?

Here is a way to automate finding the lwd= parameters. library(lattice) # test data x <- 1:12 g <- gl(3, 4) lwd <- 3 # set parameters par <- trellis.par.get() par <- lapply(par, function(x) replace(x, names(x) == "lwd", lwd)) xyplot(x ~ x | g, type = "l", par.settings = par) On 8/24/06, Chuck Cleland <ccleland at optonline.net> wrote:> Piet Bell wrote: > > Hello, > > A made a xyplot using the lattice library in R (latest version). > > > > The publisher of our paper has requested: > > > > 1. all tick marks should point inwards instead of outwards. > > > > 2.

That should read finding and setting. Chuck already showed how to find them.

Cleveland?s excellent book /The Elements of Graphing Data/, where Cleveland strongly recommends that tick marks should point *outwards* ?because ticks that point inward can obscure data?.

You might also want to add 'color=TRUE'. ... plotting commands ... dev.off() usually gives much better-looking plots, and with thicker lines. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer E-mail and Jabber: karl at huftis.org
