[R] Question about banking to 45 degrees.

2008-05-20 Thread Joshua Hertlein
Hello, I am very interested in banking to 45 degrees as defined by William S. Cleveland in Visualizing Data. I like to do it in R as well as Excel, etc. With R I have come across the following method: xyplot(x, y, aspect=xy) (part of lattice package) which will bank my graph to 45
