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?

Why didn't you say so ... here ya' go.

Dear all,

I would like to change the "fill" pattern of a histogram using
histogram() in the lattice package. I know how to do so using hist(),
but would prefer to stay within lattice.

dt1 <- rnorm(100,0,1)

hist(dt1, density=3, angle=45)


I get diagonal striping.


library(lattice)
histogram(dt1,
             xlab = "Histogram of rnorm(0,1)",
             type = "count",
             breaks = 15,
             col = "grey")

I seem to remember that the diagonal hatched fills were disabled or not brought over to lattice from base S graphics because they were thought to be causing cognitive distortions[1,2]. 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.
