[R] coplot with png: disappearing grid lines

[Prof Brian Ripley]

The lines are there for Uwe and for me: perhaps your PNG viewer is 
defective, possibly your graphics hardware has a buggy driver.

File-Save As-png/jpeg/bmp runs png() internally, so the exact same code is 
used.  As it is when savePlot() is used, which might be a workaround for 
you.
