histogram fill lattice

[Powell, Jeff]

Dear all,

I would like to change the "fill" pattern of a histogram using histogram() in the lattice package.  I know how to do so using hist(), but would prefer to stay within lattice.

dt1 <- rnorm(100,0,1)

hist(dt1, density=3, angle=45)


library(lattice)
histogram(dt1,
               xlab = "Histogram of rnorm(0,1)",
               type = "count",
               breaks = 15,
               col = "grey")


With regards,
J. Powell

I get diagonal striping.

I seem to remember that the diagonal hatched fills were disabled or  
not brought over to lattice from base S graphics because they were  
thought to be causing cognitive distortions[1,2]. You already seem to  
be able to specify the color of the fill, and it's easy to get  
alternating colored fills with col = c("grey","red") ,  so it's not  
entirely clear what your unsatisfied goals are.

The actual reason it was not originally implemented is simply that
grid did not support it.  Of course, the "bad"-ness of hatching may
have been the reason grid doesn't support it, and why no one has
bothered to change the status quo in so many years.

Thank you for your response, I will try to be clearer.  I would like to fill my lattice histogram bars using a symbol rather than a color.  If that is not possible, then I will use hist() instead.

>From trellis.par.get()
bar.fill only includes "col", so perhaps I'm out of luck?

With regards,
Jeff

Why didn't you say so ... here ya' go.
