R help - Jul 2015 - Lattice: set col = "black" for box.rectangle and box.umbrella

1. box.rectangle, etc. are not functions;  they are (lists of)
parameters that are sublists of the par.settings list.

2. Read the Help for simpleTheme() -- it has a specific list of
parameters which is nothing like what you show.

Cheers,
Bert

Bert,

   found the simpleTheme example on a web forum thread. Mea culpa! Will read
the help page. Still desire to have the changes set in .Rprofile rather than
for each plot.

Thanks,

Rich

Let me rephrase my 2nd point:

simpleTheme() has a specific list of **arguments** which is nothing
like you show. As the Help says, its value is a list of parameter
settings that can be used by par.settings.

Hi

I usually avoid global settings as they may change between graphs therefore
I use the par.settings in each plot

My settings are

       par.settings = list(fontsize = list(text = 10.5,
                                           points = 8),
                           strip.background = list(col =
"transparent"),
                           box.dot = list(col = "#FF0000", # red
                                          pch = "|"),
                           box.rectangle = list(col = "#000000",
                                                lty = 1),
                           box.umbrella = list(col = "#000000",
                                               lty = 1),
                           plot.symbol = list(alpha = 1,
                                              col = "#000000",
                                              cex = 0.7,
                                              pch = 20)
                  ),

This gives a red line instead of the large dot: it avoids "bulls-eyes"
across the panel when there are a lot of factors

Just a thought
Have you set pch colour values somewhere else?

Duncan,

   This is interesting: the color of the horizontal line remains black,
rather than displaying in red whether I use the numeric code or the word. I
need to explore why.

Thanks again,

Rich

Duncan,

   Not on purpose.

   Will do.

Thanks,
