[R] zero margin / marginless plots (in lattice?)

Thanks.  The xaxs|yaxs='i' works well for the base graphics.  Is there an 
additional parameter in play for lattice graphics?  The closest I could 
gotten is the below which still leaves a bit of a margin:

xy<-data.frame(x=c(0,1,1,0,0),y=c(0,1,0,0,1))
xyplot(y~x,xy,scales=list(axs='i',draw=FALSE),type='l',xlab=NULL,ylab=NULL)
