[R] eliminating white space in lattice plot

[Duncan Mackay]

Hi 

The original email did not reach me so I am using this to reply

There is the trellis.device function for lattice graphs which in the past I
have had to use to create a pdf as just pdf would not do it
?trellis.device calls the device in this case  pdf()
? pdf  has the paper specification which explains the size as well as the
height and width 
If you are still wanting to crop white space around the plot see
par.settings in xyplot 
also have a look at trellis.par.get()$layout.widths and
trellis.par.get()$layout.heights these values can be changed in par.settings

Regards

Duncan

Hi,
May be this helps:
 x11(width=10,height=3)
 xyplot(y~x,data=X,type="l",aspect=0.25)
 dev.copy2pdf(file="wideplot.pdf")
dev.off()

Dear R-users,
How do I get rid of the white space above and under a plot made with lattice
xyplot?

I searched the documentation but could not find how to do it.

Standard lattice plots are square,
but sometimes I want a wide but low graph and use aspect parameter to obtain
such a graph.
But then the plot has a lot of white space above and below the graph.
That makes it more difficult to include in a LaTeX document.

Thanks,
Gerrit Draisma

=============
library(lattice)
X<-data.frame(x=1:100,y=runif(100))
# pdf("wideplot.pdf")
xyplot(y~x,data=X,type="l",aspect=0.25)
# dev.off()
