Many thanks for your reply!

Ugggh, cut and paste mistake.

I have data from related experiments in that involves two variables
conditioned on a third. This data is displayed in an xyplot. The
reason I'm trying to get the vertical orientation in the stripplot is
that in some experiments the variable plotted on the horizontal axis
is invariant and in these cases for consistency I'd like the variable
that is plotted on the vertical axis to continue to appear vertically.
For example in non-lattice graphics the following works:
stripchart(rnorm(100), vert=TRUE).

Yes, that's moving closer, but the strips containing the conditioning
info are missing.
