[R] Change font type PNG device with Lattice xyplot

[RBlonk]

Thanks!

I found an other, less elegant, way as well. (This always happens, just
after asking someone else)


a<-data.frame(x=c(1:5),y=c(2,2,3,3,4))
require(lattice)

png(filename="let's change the font.png", width=480, height=300,
pointsize=12)
  xyplot(y~x,data=a,
    ylab=list("y-axis",font=6),
    xlab=list("x-axis",font=6),

    ylim=c(0,5),
    par.settings=list(axis.line=list(lwd=1.5),
    strip.border=list(lwd=2)),
    scales=list(y=list(tick.number=5,tck=0.5),font=6),

    type="l",lwd=3,lty=1,col=2)
dev.off()

But I prefer yours.

Regards
Robbert
