Modify spplot frame borders, padding and font
Thank you for the prompt reply. Forgive me, but how did you know that par.settings was an attribute to spplot? I'm struggling with interpreting the documentation. For example, if I wish to remove the outline and background color from each frame title, where would I look for the appropriate parameters and values? Thank you once again, Iain

You can add following line to get a map without frame.
par.settings=list(axis.line=list(col=NA))
For tittle,
main=list("(a) tittle",cex=.6)
For size and space between frames (for nine frames):
windows(width=5.5, height=8)
tiff( file="Fig.tif",width=5.5, height=8,units = "in", pointsize = 12, res=1600,
restoreConsole = T,compression = "lzw",bg="transparent")
print(a,position = c(0.05,0.5,1,1),split=c(1,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(b,position = c(0.15,0.5,1,1),split=c(2,1,4,2),more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(c,position = c(0.45,0.5,1,1), split=c(3,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(d,position = c(0.05,0.5,1,0.65),split=c(1,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(e,position = c(0.15,0.5,1,0.65),split=c(2,1,4,2),more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(f,position = c(0.45,0.5,1,0.65), split=c(3,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(g,position = c(0.05,0.5,1,0.30),split=c(1,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(h,position = c(0.15,0.5,1,0.30),split=c(2,1,4,2),more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(i,position = c(0.45,0.5,1,0.30), split=c(3,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(j,position = c(0.05,0,1,0.15),split=c(1,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(k,position = c(0.15,0,1,0.15),split=c(2,1,4,2),more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))
print(l,position = c(0.45,0,1,0.15), split=c(3,1,4,2), more=TRUE,panel.width=list(1.5, "inches"),panel.height=list(1.5, "inches"))

Hello everyone,
I have used spplot to draw six small-multiple choropleth maps of London. Although I am happy with the result, I would like to recolour (and potentially remove) the outline from each frame; to add some padding between each map and its containing frame; and finally to change the font used to display the heading in each frame.
I have searched the documentation. However, I am new to R and I have been unable to uncover the mechanism that would allow me to modify these attributes. Any assistance would be gratefully received!
Many thanks,
Iain
