The 'par.settings' are only multipliers for the defaults, and you want
to change the original defaults. For example, the left margin is given
by
> lattice.getOption("layout.widths")$left.padding
$x
[1] 0.5
$units
[1] "char"
which you want to change to, say, list(x = 1, units = "mm"). See
?lattice.options on how to do that (and also the 'lattice.options'
entry in ?xyplot).
You might have better luck with the development version at
https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=638
as it has some related bugfixes and documentation improvements.

Re: [R] trellis margin sizes in absolute units
It is not clear to me what you want in the lattice context, but perhaps
?print.trellis
may be relevant.
Note that "inner" and "outer" margins are not directly translatable in
lattice, as there are multiple levels of plots involved, all determined by
viewport contexts. Ergo my confusion about what you're after.

[R] trellis margin sizes in absolute units
Dear R users,
I have a lot of experience with traditional R graphics, but I decided to turn
to trellis as
it was recommended for spatial graphs by the sp package. In traditional R
graphics
I always first set the size of the device region absolute units (e.g. mm) and
then I
firmly fix the inner margins with mai and the outer margins with oma also in
absolute units.
What is left from the device region is for the plot region. That is my general
idea.
My question is, is it possible to achieve that full control with trellis
graphics? I have tried
with the *.paddings parameters, but it seems to me that the margins are still
larger than I have set them.
Here is my example code: (mp is a SpatialPixelsDataFrame)
xlim <- c(.96*bbox(mp)[1, 1], 1.02*bbox(mp)[1, 2]);
ylim <- c(.992*bbox(mp)[2, 1], 1.005*bbox(mp)[2, 2]);
b <- 1; t <- 2; # b, t : should be bottom and top figure margins
l <- 1; r <- 6; # l, r : should be left and right figure margins
asp <- mapasp(data=mp, xlim=xlim, ylim=ylim);
# I have set the width of the device region as w millimetres and here I
calculate
# its height, taking care of the aspect ratio
h <- b + t + asp*(w - (l + r));
postscript(output, onefile=FALSE, paper="special", width=w/25.4, height=h/25.4,
horizontal=FALSE, fonts=c("Times"), print.it=FALSE, colormodel="rgb",
pointsize=12);
# here I set all the possible paddings to make sure that all other margins are
0:
trellis.par.set(layout.widths=list(left.padding=l, right.padding=r,
key.ylab.padding = 0,
ylab.axis.padding = 0, axis.key.padding = 0, units="mm"),
layout.heights=list(bottom.padding=b, top.padding=t, main.key.padding = 0,
key.axis.padding = 0, axis.xlab.padding = 0,
xlab.key.padding = 0, key.sub.padding = 0, units="mm"),
axis.components=list(bottom=list(pad1=.8), left=list(pad1=.8)));
But still, the resulting margins are larger than I expect and to achieve the
desired effect I have to set some parameters to negative numbers. So I guess
there are some other graphical parameters that come into play, about which I do
not know.
Which margins are these *.padding parameters controlling: the outer (device) or
the inner (figure) margins?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
Martin
