R help - Nov 2012 - [lattice] Increase distance between tick labels and ticks in wireframe plot ("pad")

Hello,

I try to increase the distance between tick labels and ticks in a lattice
wireframe plot. Here's a minimal example:

## Minimal example
x <- y <- z <- c(1,2,3)
df <- data.frame(x, y, z)
wireframe(z ~ x*y, df,  scales = list(arrows = FALSE, col = "black",
font = 1, tck=0.6))


I tried the axis.components option
(http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Lattice-distance-of-tick-labels-from-axis-line-tp3693014p3693014.html).
This works for xyplot, but *not* for wireframe:

xyplot(z ~ x, df,  scales = list(arrows = FALSE, col = "black", font =
1, tck=0.6), par.settings=list(axis.components=list(left=list(pad1=2))))

wireframe(z ~ x*y, df,  scales = list(arrows = FALSE, col = "black",
font = 1, tck=0.6), par.settings=list(axis.components=list(left=list(pad1=2))))

Any ideas on how to pad the axis labels in wireframe plots?

Thanks,
Felix

I think that you want the 'distance=' argument to scales (which is
documented in ?wireframe).

Try this:
wireframe(z ~ x*y, df,
           scales = list(arrows = FALSE,
                         col = "black",
                         font = 1,
                         tck = c(0.8, 0.6, 0.4),
                         distance =c(2, 5, 8)))

Adjust as you prefer.
