Hi all, Back in 2007, Deepayan and Patrick had an exchange about how to modify axes for lattice plots (pasted below). I need something similar, but I also need to produce ticks on the axes. Deepayan quickly coded up substitute gridlines because they needed to make the default box transparent. The code works, but it lacks the ticks, and I could not google up how to add them.
(I would be taken aback if you could even help me but this option into a theme for the latticeExtra package -- the grid options there do not seem to allow left and bottom axes at the same time. Not even asTheEconomist command, though I thought I have seen plot with "bty="l" " in The Economist...) I understand that panels in lattice were not intended for such use originally, but for many advanced features of the lattice package, my team wants to use this. The specific goal would be to produce graphs in R like those here: http://obs.rc.fas.harvard.edu/chetty/denmark_adjcost_slides.pdf . Any help would be greatly appreciated.
