[R] problem with png()

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Works for me when I add the library(lattice) you omitted ....

Since effectively all png() is doing is copying the screen, the problem is 
unlikely to be in png().  Most such problems are when there is not enough 
space to include labels, and you need to adjust margins or pointsize.

It seems not possible on Windows, either.
