Thank you for your response, I will try to be clearer. I would like to fill my lattice histogram bars using a symbol rather than a color. If that is not possible, then I will use hist() instead.
>From trellis.par.get() bar.fill only includes "col", so perhaps I'm out of luck?

You already seem to be able to specify the color of the fill, and it's easy to get alternating colored fills with col = c("grey","red") , so it's not entirely clear what your unsatisfied goals are. -- David Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT 1] http://markmail.org/message/pmrrpjynrcnrwhg5?q=list:org%2Er-project%2Er-help+lattice+hatching 2] http://markmail.org/message/cj23tnsgsobs4mbu?q=list:org%2Er-project%2Er-help+lattice+hatching ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
