R help - Nov 2010 - How to turn the colour off for lattice graph?

Dear All,

I am trying to plot a lattice figure and include it in a LaTeX
document via the TikZDevice package. I think the journal I am
submitting to does not like colour figure, so I need to get rid of all
the colours in the figure. If I directly generate PDF or EPS, the
option "trellis.device(color=FALSE)", but when I do:

trellis.device(color=FALSE)
tikz("~/project/figure.tex")
plot(...)
dev.off()

The resulted graph has black and white dots and lines but still has
the default colour in the window frame. Any ideas about how to get rid
that colour as well?

Many thanks.

Best,
Shige

I wouldn't expect to see output the plot function affected by  
modifications to the trellis device. Have your tried using par()?

(There are plot methods that use lattice plotting functions and I  
suppose tikz might be one but I do not see that function in my loaded  
packages which include lattice by default.)
