Do you ever use lattice? It seems to have a lot of good default styles for black and white.

Well, lattice has really nice defaults to reduce the clutter when printing. But it's still missing patterns for filling curves as any other library based in ggplot2 because ggplot2 simply doesn't have support for it. What is more strange, is that most modern libraries (plotly, bokeh, etc) also do away without those capabilities.

The result, is that they all look very nice on the screen, but when you have to print in B&W or low color resolution, they all fail.
