Re: [R] Background color(s) for groupedData plot

When I've tried par(bg = white) prior to using the
plot(grouped data object) command it doesn't seem to make any
difference.
How can I change the grey background to something else?

Much thanks in advance,

Hi Paul,

This method calls lattice plots. An easy way to change the bg color is 
to call trellis.device explictely, e.g.

trellis.device(bg = 0)
plot(grouped data object)
Best,

Renaud

RE: [R] Background color(s) for groupedData plot

2003-06-19 Thread Paul, David A
Thank you both for pointing out that this is a lattice
plot (ie, R's version of Trellis graphics) and therefore
needs something other than par().

I was able to use IE6.0 to search for trellis and
find the relevant commands (after using help.start(),
of course).  This brings up another question:

Is there a convenient way to decide whether or not
the generic plot( ) is going to use regular or
trellis plotting?  I looked at methods(plot) and
didn't find any groupedData plot methods listed, so
perhaps this is the clue?

I guess you are using package nlme.
Plots for the different GroupedData classes are produced with package
lattice.
So you cannot use par(). See the documentation for package lattice.

After you have opened a device, you might want to use
  lset(col.whitebg())

or simply look into ?trellis.device how to set black and white schemes
and so on.

It's there, but as the GroupedData methods, not groupedData.

 require(nlme)
 methods(plot)[grep('groupedData',methods(plot),ignore.case=T)]
[1] plot.nffGroupedData plot.nfnGroupedData plot.nmGroupedData
