xyplot/levelplot: thickness of tickmarks

[Jan Marius Hofert]

Hi,

if I use the xyplot (or levelplot) function (lattice library) with  
the option axs="i", I have the problem that the tickmarks lie a bit  
outside the "plot-box". Consider for example:

library(lattice)
x<-seq(0,1,by=0.01)
y<-seq(0,1,by=0.01)
xyplot(y~x,type="l",xlim=c(0,1),ylim=c(0,1),scales=list 
(relation="free",axs="i",x=list(at=c(0.0,1.0)),y=list(at=c(0.0,1.0))))

As you can see at x=1, half of the tickmark is actually to the right  
of the "plot-box" (just zoom in to see that...). Sure you can solve  
this by using a bigger smaller/bigger value for the ranges of xlim  
and ylim, but is there any option/way to fix that? I do not like to  
set xlim=c(-0.001,1.001) and ylim=c(-0.001,1.001) which would solve  
the problem but this is somehow "dirty". I couldn't find an option  
for the thickness of the tickmarks (that would solve the problem as I  
think the tickmarks-thickness is just bigger than the thickness of  
the axes)

Any help appreciated

Hi,

I can't find a simple command to switch the plot colors from paper to
presentation formats.  Has anyone defined styles that can be easily applied
in one command?

It would be nice to have a command for papers, using ps or eps outputs, that
has a white background and colors that will print nicely on that.  On the
other hand, it would be nice to have exactly the same plot for a
presentation on a black background.  A function to flip all the colors to
suit the presentation format would be ideal.

What is the best way to go about this using R?

Thanks, Darren
