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

There are many ways to accomplish your request. The simplest is:

trellis.device(color = FALSE)

another is

ltheme <- canonical.theme(color = FALSE) ## in-built B&W theme 
ltheme$strip.background$col <- "transparent" ## change strip bg 
lattice.options(default.theme = ltheme) ## set as default
