Hi:

One hopes that there is a more elegant solution than this bit of ad-hockery.
>From your posted example:

f1 <- c(rep(c(rep("a", 3), rep("b", 3), rep("c", 3)), 2))
f2 <- c(rep("A", 9), rep("B", 9))
dv <- c(0.9, 0.8, 0.85, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.8, 0.85, 0.8, 0.95, 0.85,
 0.9, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.85, 0.9, 0.85)
df <- data.frame(f1, f2, dv)
df$lab <- rep(1:6, each = 3)

df$lab2 <- ''
df$lab2[seq(1, 16, by = 3)] <- 1:6        # adapt to your situation - seq(1,
nrow(df) - 63, by = 64), perhaps

bwplot(dv ~ f1 | f2, data = df, ylim = c(0.5, 1),
 panel = function(x, y, ..., subscripts) {
   lab <- df$lab2[subscripts]
   panel.bwplot(x, y,  ...)
   panel.text(x, 0.55, labels = lab)
 }
)

Alternatively, panel.text() takes an alpha = argument; for example,

bwplot(dv ~ f1 | f2, data = df, ylim = c(0.5, 1),
 panel = function(x, y, ..., subscripts) {
   lab <- df$lab[subscripts]
   panel.bwplot(x, y,  ...)
   panel.text(x, 0.55, labels = lab, alpha = 0.5)
 }
)

You could toy with the value of alpha until something acceptable emerges.
But as I said, there is probably a better solution and I'm happy to be
educated if there is.

HTH,
Dennis
