[R] How to control spaces between axis, tick and label in xyplot or xYplot?

[Peter Ehlers]

You don't provide reproducible code and your space bar seems to
be broken (or perhaps, you're trying to save bandwidth by
minimizing the number of characters sent), but this may be
what you're after:

myspacing <- 0.5
xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length | Species, data = iris,
        layout = c(3,1),
        par.settings = list(layout.widths = list(ylab.axis.padding = 
myspacing)))

Fiddle with myspacing until you're satisfied.

BTW, you probably don't need 'aspect = "fill"' since that's
the default (unless you've reset that in global lattice options).
