Hello Bert, I doubt it is this simple: xyplot(rnorm(5) ~ 1:5, pch=4, cex=10) gives huge symbols, but their thickness is not affected, most probably because they are not implemented as characters. It is not that important to me personally anymore, I worked around the problem. But still, I would be interested if there is a simple solution.
