Subject: Weird problem redirecting lattice graph to a file
In-Reply-To: <C104FBC1.50CA%jahumada@ci.conservation.org>
Replace levelplot(a) by print(levelplot(a)) and you
should be fine. Lattice functions return a trellis
object which has to be explicitly printed. If you
type levelplot(a) on the command line, there is
an implicit call to print(), which has the desired
effect.
