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

[Edzer Pebesma]

library(lattice)
trellis.par.set(axis.line=list(col=NA))
library(sp)
loadMeuse()
spplot(meuse.grid[1])

takes away the border, but not only around the map area, also around the
legend colour block.

AFAICS, par.settings does nothing in the code fragment below.

The spplot documentation says:

Description:

     Lattice (trellis) plot methods for spatial data with attributes

(and much later:)

     for useful values see the appropriate documentation of xyplot and
     levelplot.

so reading into how lattice plots work, e.g. modifying parameters with
trellis.par.set, or reading the documentation of xyplot and levelplot in
package lattice might help. It assumes that the words "lattice" and
"trellis" ring a bell.

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.
