[R] Background color Windows device (newbie)

[Chuck Cleland]

   See the bg argument to trellis.device().  Here is an example:

library(Hmisc)
library(lattice)
trellis.device(width=7, height=5, new = TRUE, col = FALSE, bg = "white")

dfr <- expand.grid(month=1:12, continent=c('Europe','USA'),
                          sex=c('female','male'))

set.seed(1)

dfr <- upData(dfr, y=month/10 + 1*(sex=='female') +
               2*(continent=='Europe') +
               runif(48,-.15,.15),
               lower=y - runif(48,.05,.15),
               upper=y + runif(48,.05,.15))

xYplot(Cbind(y,lower,upper) ~ month,subset=sex=='male' &
        continent=='USA', data=dfr)

hope this helps,
