[R-sig-Geo] Modify spplot frame borders, padding and font

[Dillingham, Iain]

Thank you for the prompt reply. Forgive me, but how did you know that par.settings was an attribute to spplot? I'm struggling with interpreting the documentation. For example, if I wish to remove the outline and background color from each frame title, where would I look for the appropriate parameters and values?

Thank you once again,

Iain

You can add following line to get a map without frame.
par.settings=list(axis.line=list(col=NA))
For tittle,
main=list("(a) tittle",cex=.6)
For size and space between frames (for nine frames):
windows(width=5.5, height=8)
tiff( file="Fig.tif",width=5.5, height=8,units = "in", pointsize = 12, res=1600,
restoreConsole = T,compression =  "lzw",bg="transparent")

print(a,position = c(0.05,0.5,1,1),split=c(1,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(b,position = c(0.15,0.5,1,1),split=c(2,1,4,2),more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(c,position = c(0.45,0.5,1,1), split=c(3,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(d,position = c(0.05,0.5,1,0.65),split=c(1,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(e,position = c(0.15,0.5,1,0.65),split=c(2,1,4,2),more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(f,position = c(0.45,0.5,1,0.65), split=c(3,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(g,position = c(0.05,0.5,1,0.30),split=c(1,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(h,position = c(0.15,0.5,1,0.30),split=c(2,1,4,2),more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(i,position = c(0.45,0.5,1,0.30), split=c(3,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(j,position = c(0.05,0,1,0.15),split=c(1,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(k,position = c(0.15,0,1,0.15),split=c(2,1,4,2),more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(l,position = c(0.45,0,1,0.15), split=c(3,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
dev.off()

Hello everyone,

I have used spplot to draw six small-multiple choropleth maps of London. Although I am happy with the result, I would like to recolour (and potentially remove) the outline from each frame; to add some padding between each map and its containing frame; and finally to change the font used to display the heading in each frame.

I have searched the documentation. However, I am new to R and I have been unable to uncover the mechanism that would allow me to modify these attributes. Any assistance would be gratefully received!

Many thanks,

Iain
