[R] lattice grayscale "theme"

The Gmane interface seems to have some lag at the moment...

Here is an example of 'in between':

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  ## Set background color of strips to grayscales:
  strip.background <- trellis.par.get("strip.background")
  trellis.par.set(strip.background = list(col = grey(7:1/8)))
  ## Set color of plot symbols to grayscale:
  plot.symbol <- trellis.par.get("plot.symbol")
  trellis.par.set(plot.symbol = list(col = grey(5/8)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think it would be nice to have a few default "themes": A single
switch between "default color", "grayscale" and "black and white".


What do you think?
