lattice splom: how to adjust space between tick marks and tick labels?

Dear expeRts,

how can I decrease the space between the tick marks and the corresponding labels in an splom?
See here:

library(lattice)
U <- matrix(runif(4000), ncol = 8)
splom(U, axis.text.cex = 0.2) # => space between the [small] tick labels and tick marks is/seems to be too large

I checked ?panel.pairs but could not find an option for that.

Cheers,

Marius

So you want more tick marks?
What about the pscales argument?

A single number would increase the number of ticks, or a list with  
"at" and "labels" values can be passed. Seem to be just what you asked  
for.

Dear David,

thank you for your answer.
As I wrote, I am looking for an option to control the *space* between the tick marks and the corresponding labels. I am happy with the *number* of tick marks and their default values. As far as I know, pscales can't control the space, so it is *not* what I am looking for.

Cheers,

Marius

Marius,
I think that you mean something like the following:

  U <- matrix(runif(300), ncol = 3)
  splom(U, par.settings = list(
                 axis.components = list(
                     left = list(pad1 = 3)
                 )
           )
  )

which will adjust the left axis; you'll have to add
right, top, bottom components to handle those as well.

Have a look at what trellis.par.get() produces and
check the axis.components section.

Dear Peter,

thank you very much, *precisely* what I was looking for!
