[R] Lattice, ggplot, and pointsize

[Duncan Mackay]

Hi

See par.settings in xyplot

Things are also controlled by
trellis.par.get()
to see values
trellis.par.set()

eg
xyplot(~Freq|Year, data = sheep2,
            groups   = farm,
            par.settings = list(strip.background = list(col = "transparent"),
                                axis.text = list(cex = 0.75),
                                par.xlab.text = list(cex = 0.80),
                                par.ylab.text = list(cex = 0.80)) , ...)
