[R-sig-Geo] spplot, polygons, and line density fill

[Matthew Landis]

In case my request wasn't really clear, let me rephrase:

I'd like to overlay some polygons onto a raster, by plotting with a line 
density fill instead of a solid fill, as shown here 
http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net/gallery/#fig15.R.  Ideally I would be 
able to modify the angle of the lines.  I know how to do this in base 
graphics, but I really need to use spplot (or willing to use ggplot2 if 
that can do what I want).

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
