Suppose I have data such as the following

set.seed(12345)
tmp <- data.frame(var1 = rnorm(100), var2 = rnorm(100), var3=rnorm(100, 10, 30))

tmp1 <- data.frame(vars = with(tmp, c(var1, var2, var3)), type = gl(3, 100))

var3 is on a different scale, but I create the following plot, which looks 
terrible as a result

bwplot(~ vars|type, tmp1,
                layout = c(1,3),
)

Of course, I can use the scales = 'free' argument and this looks fine.

bwplot(~ vars|type, tmp1,
                scales = 'free',
                layout = c(1,3),
)

My real world data are a little tougher to describe, but follow a similar 
pattern. My question is, is there a way to make the bottom two boxplots to have 
the *same* scale, but for the top plot to have its own unique scale?

The scales = 'free' argument permits for each plot to have its own scale. 
Perhaps there is a way to generalize this so only certain plots have a unique 
scale and all others are on the same scale.

Thanks

Harold
