Dear Simon,

Thank you very much! A colleague of mine directed me towards the
extract.lmeDesign function of the RLRsim package, but that only gets me the
basis functions in function of the model I specified. Your solution is what
I was looking for.

Kind regards
Joris

Just for completeness : This does something different, it takes the design
out of the lme part of a gamm object. This gives a mixed model
representation of the spline using the basis function in one way or another
(scaling is different, I'm still trying to grasp how). It's not really what
I looked for, but it might be useful for somebody else.

library(RLRsim)
X <- extract.lmeDesign(test$lme)$X # fixed effects I believe
Z <- extract.lmeDesign(test$lme)$Z # random effects I believe

op <- par(mfrow=c(2,5),mar=c(4,4,1,1))
plot(x1,X[,1],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
plot(x1,X[,2],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
plot(x1,Z[,8],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
plot(x1,Z[,7],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
plot(x1,Z[,6],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
plot(x1,Z[,5],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
plot(x1,Z[,4],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
plot(x1,Z[,3],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
plot(x1,Z[,2],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
plot(x1,Z[,1],ylab="Basis function",xlab="X",type="l",lwd=2)
par(op)
