Re: [R] Darker markers for symbols in lattice
Adding par.settings = list(grid.pars = list(lwd = 3)) to my code which uses simpleKey gives exactly what I want. However, if I use auto.key, I lose all the formatting and get default colors and symbols. I am indebted to Deepayan for once again providing the key (pun intended) to a solution. My figure is a superposed dotplot similar to the barley example. I like to vary the symbols even if I use color as an aid to those with color vision deficiencies and choose my colors with color vision deficiency in mind.

Re: [R] Darker markers for symbols in lattice
Now that I have the markers the weight I want using lex, I'm having trouble making the key match the markers. Any suggestions? BTW, I'm using R2.8.1 with Windows Vista. Naomi -- Naomi B.

Re: [R] Darker markers for symbols in lattice
Many thanks to Deepayan for providing just what I wanted. I've tried lwd many times and it does not work but lex does the trick. Thanks also to Paul Murrell for his very simple suggestion of using lower case o for an open circle since bold works on letters and to Bert Gunter for suggesting an overplotting technique to try if nothing easier was suggested.

[R] Darker markers for symbols in lattice
In lattice, using the command trellis.par.get for superpose.symbol, plot, symbol and/or dot.symbol shows that we can specify alpha, cex, col, fill (for superpose.symbol and plot.symbol), font, and pch. Trial and error shows that the font affects letters but not pch=1 or pch=3 (open circles and plus signs.) I want to use open circles and plus signs, keep the colors and cex I've specified but make the symbols bolder, much the way a higher lwd makes lines bolder. Does anyone know of a library that does that or can anyone think of a workaround to make the markers stand out better without making them larger? I'm using R2.8.1 with Windows Vista.
