Help with Lattice

Hi:

I have started to use Lattice two days ago and find that it is an 
outstanding package. I am, however, stumbling on two problems, 
despite the fact that I have read the help pages as well as two pdf 
documents on Trellis that I found on the web.

Unfortunately, none of the things you want can be done (at least not very
easily) right now.

1- I want to remove the ticks on the top and right sides of the 
panels and did not see any option in "scales" to do so.

You can try these, but neither are probably exactly what you want:

i ) xyplot(..., scales = list(alternating = 1, tck = 0))
ii) xyplot(..., scales = list(relation = "free"))

2- I would like to remove the background color on the strips but 
could not find how to make the "bg" option in "strip.default " work. 
I would also like to remove the box around the strips and found no 
option to do it in "strip.default" or elsewhere.

The background is easy to change, by

lset(list(strip.background = list(col = "transparent")))

(note: this is overridden every time you start a new device)

or

xyplot(..., strip = function(bg, ...) strip.default(bg = 'transparent', ...))


The box can't really be removed (even if the strip function doesn't draw a box,
each panel draws a box around itself, as does the whole plotting region).
