 I want to create scatter plots of the concentrations (numeric column
'quant') for two specified chemicals (factor column 'param') for all dates
and streams (factor column 'stream') in which there are data.
Scatterplots are for two variables with  continuous valued data. You  
are asking about one such variable, apparently within some combination  
of groups of discrete variables. Look at dotplot or bwplot examples.
 Looking in ?lattice and Deepayan's book did not provide an example.  
I've
tried varies formulae but without success, and would appreciate a  
pointer to
documentation and examples of how to write such an expression.
The problem is with the choice of plotting function not fitting the  
problem, not with the formula.
