Hi

I'm trying to use tikzDevice for a quite complex plot, which has a grid, 
adds axis, background color, and so on... However, the pdf I get looses 
much of the information... Did I do something wrong? Did I miss some 
important parameters/options?

Thanks!

## The plot:
   op<-par(bg=11,bty="n", cex=2, mar=c(3,4,1,2)+0.1)
   x <- runif(100)
   plot(x, las=1, yaxt="n",tcl=0, ann=F, type="l", lwd=2, col="blue")
   grid(col="white", lty="solid", nx=NA, ny=NULL, lwd=2)
   lines(x, col="blue", lwd=2)
   axis(1, tcl=0, labels=FALSE, col="black", lwd=1, 
at=as.Date(c("1970-01-01","2011-01-01")))
   axis(2, las=2, tick=FALSE)
   par(op)


### with tikz:
library(tikzDevice)

tikz("try.tex", standAlone=TRUE)
   op<-par(bg=11,bty="n", cex=2, mar=c(3,4,1,2)+0.1)
   x <- runif(100)
   plot(x, las=1, yaxt="n",tcl=0, ann=F, type="l", lwd=2, col="blue")
   grid(col="white", lty="solid", nx=NA, ny=NULL, lwd=2)
   lines(x, col="blue", lwd=2)
   axis(1, tcl=0, labels=FALSE, col="black", lwd=1, 
at=as.Date(c("1970-01-01","2011-01-01")))
   axis(2, las=2, tick=FALSE)
   par(op)
dev.off()
