Hi Dan
For devices png, pdf, postscript and ? others the pointsize argument
controls the font size which is modified by cex
For lattice there are the settings in trellis.par.get()
trellis.par.get()$fontsize
$text
[1] 12
$points
[1] 8
which you can set and there is no real need to change font size except if
you need to change main.
trellis.par.get()$grid.pars are the settings for grid elements if used eg
text
these could be set globally by trellis.par.set() or individually with
argument par.settings eg
xyplot(y ~ x, data = datm,
par.settings = list(strip.background = list(col =
"transparent"),
fontsize = list(text = 16,
points = 12), # large size; need to refine
superpose.polygon= list(col
= c("red","blue"),
border = c("red","blue"))),
type = "b")

Subject: [R] font size in graphs...can R read Windows settings?
Hi All,
I am putting together a package that (among other things) draws some nice
graphs for users. I place some explanatory text on figs using "text" and
"mtext". But the size of the text depends on the Windows display settings:
Smaller (100%), medium (125%) or larger (150%) (In Windows 7... Control
panel | Appearance and personalization | Display | Make text and other
items smaller or larger). If I create figs that look good with one setting,
the text is too big (or too small) if another setting is used in Windows.
If I know the Windows setting, I can use cex in R to make the right sized
labels, but if I don't know a user's Windows display size setting...is
there a way for R to read the setting? Or is there another way to control
label size so that text labels on graphs look good regardless of WIndows
display size setting?
Many thanks for Ideas,
-Dan
