Jannis: I understand your confusion, but you need to read and follow the lattice documentation more carefully. You may also wish to consider getting Deepayan's book, which provides a gentler, less terse, and more organized guide to lattice's complexities with many more examples.
Anyway, names(trellis.par.get()) shows you that there is NO component named "top.padding" Rather, "top.padding" is one of the components of the "layout.heights" list which IS one of the components of the trellis.par.get() settings list. To change the "top.padding" component of THIS list you therefore should do: trellis.par.set(layout.heights = list(top.padding = .5)) (I'm not sure this will do what you want, but at least the call will be correct.) All this is explained in ?trellis.par.set.

I need to adjust the following: -reduce outer margins (like par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)) with base graphs) -modify positions of labels (like par(mpg=c(0,0,0)) with base graphs) I already did some research, but got confused by the huge amount of settings with the lattice objects. I know that the road to success goes in this direction: trellis.par.set(list(fontsize=list(text=8))) But how are my specific arguments called? First tries like: trellis.par.set(list(top.padding=0.5)) did not seem to have any effect.
