[R] Lattice: problem with setting space between plot and legend

[Duncan Mackay]

Hi

If space="bottom" then I think that par.settings needs to be utilized

?xyplot
search for par.settings
names(trellis.par.get())
trellis.par.get()[[28]]
layout heights may be needed

  names(trellis.par.get()[[28]])
  [1] 
"top.padding"       "main"              "main.key.padding"  "key.top" 
           "xlab.top"          "key.axis.padding"
  [7] 
"axis.top"          "strip"             "panel" 
"axis.panel"        "between"           "axis.bottom"
[13] "axis.xlab.padding" 
"xlab"              "xlab.key.padding"  "key.bottom" 
"key.sub.padding"   "sub"
[19] "bottom.padding"

therefore one scenario is to add the argument to barchart eg to increase space

par.settings = list(layout.heights = list(key.top = 2)),

also bottom.padding etc depending on the requirements other arguments 
to layout heights may be necessary.

The request was not specific enough to elaborate.
