[R] Lattice: how to reduce/shrink plot area

[baptiste auguie]

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand your example, it'd be easier with some  
reproducible code. I think you'd better off using grid, in particular  
the figure 5.22 from the book R Graphics provides an example of  
embedding a lattice graph in a page. Here's a simplified version,

library(grid)
library(lattice)

df <- data.frame(x=rnorm(100), y=rnorm(100))
p <- xyplot(y~x, data=df)
pushViewport(viewport(x=0.3, width = 0.5, height = 0.8, angle = 0,
name = "topvp"))
grid.rect(gp = gpar(col = rgb(43/255, 140/255, 190/255)))
print(p, newpage=F)
upViewport()
grid.text("some text elsewhere", x=0.8, gp = gpar(col = rgb(43/255,  
140/255, 190/255)))



HTH,

baptiste
