[R] Transparency and trellis device

[pomchip at free.fr]

Hi Deepayan,

Thank for you reply.
I am a little bit confused now. In the one hand, the trellis.device function has lost his bg argument as explained in the Note section of ?trellis.device, but the background info provided by a theme does not seem to impact the background of the device. In the other hand, png has a bg argument that works great but no "theme" capabilities as far as I could see.

Do you see a way to reconcile both sides of the problem?

Sebastien

This has nothing to do with trellis, your png device must be set up
with a transparent canvas when it is started. See the second paragraph
in the "Details" section of ?png, but basically

png("test.png", bg = "transparent")
