[R-sig-Geo] avoid plot frame (bounding box) in spplot

[Dennis Murphy]

Hi:

Is this what you had in mind?

# library(lattice)
spplot(meuse, zcol = 'zinc',
           par.settings = list(axis.line = list(col = 'transparent')))

The par.settings = part comes from the graphical parameters in
lattice. See trellis.par.get('axis.line') to get a list of the
(default) settings; par.settings() allows you to change the defaults
temporarily in the current call. See Chapter 7 of the Lattice book for
more details.

Reproducible examples are a Good Thing :)

HTH,
Dennis
