R: how to change lattice (levelplot) color theme?

Question

The default theme on my installation is something which maps the values to pink and cyan. How to change it for example to a gray scale theme?

Answer 1

You can use

library(lattice)
lattice.options(default.theme = standard.theme(color = FALSE))

which turns on black-and-white suitable for printing. I've also played with things like

sb <- trellis.par.get("strip.background") 
sb[["col"]][1] <- "lightgray"
trellis.par.set("strip.background", sb) 

which changes just the header background.

And I thought people only asked ggplot2 questions here :) Nice to see some lattice for a change.
