Simple Interfaces to modify Trellis Settings

Description

A (hopefully) simpler alternative interface to trellis.par.get/set. NOT S compatible

Usage

lset(theme = col.whitebg())
col.whitebg()

Arguments

theme a list decribing how to change the settings of the current active device. Valid components are those in the list returned by trellis.par.get(). Each component must itself be a list, with one or more of the appropriate components (need not have all components). Changes are made to the settings for the currently active device only.

Details

lset is a wrapper to trellis.par.set that allows setting more than one parameter at a time, and only the components that are to be changed need be specified.

This function is expected to be used in conjunction with functions that return `themes', i.e., lists which when supplied to lset change the overall look and feel of the display.

col.whitebg is one such function, which returns a list which when supplied to lset changes the background to transparent and the other colors to something suitable. Contributions of more such `themes' are welcome.

lset is used to modify the settings on a one-time basis. It is also possible to make persistent changes in the default theme used via a user-settable option, see trellis.device for details.
