[R] Multiple cex sizes in main for xyplot?

[Bert Gunter]

Felix:

Oh, yes. That gives me what I want without having to resort to padding
parameters.

I don't know why it works (vs specifying the y locations), but I suppose
that's confounded with the details of lattice engineering, which I wanted to
avoid.

So many thanks for your help.

I don't think there's a much better way to do it... but this seems to work:

xyplot((0:1)~(0:1),
       main = textGrob(lab=c("Some Text","\nSome More Text"),x=c(0.5,0.5),
                       gp=gpar(cex=c(1.2,1.0), lineheight=2))
       )
