The grid defaults are whatever Paul decided :) The defaults in lattice were chosen so that things look approximately similar to comparable Trellis plots in S-Plus. The precise definition in lattice is cex = 1 <==> size = unit(2.5, "mm") ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
