[R] How to turn the colour off for lattice graph?

[Shige Song]

With the following code:
---------------
ltheme <- canonical.theme(color = FALSE)     ## in-built B&W theme
ltheme$strip.background$col <- "transparent" ## change strip bg
lattice.options(default.theme = ltheme)      ## set as default
---------------
I was able to get a nice-looking b&w figure from the X11 display but
still cannot get the same thing from tikz output. I guess it's
something about the connection between lattice and tikz that I was
unable to identify.
