Apologetic prologue: I've looked through the mailing list for an answer to this (since I'm sure it's trivial) but I have not been able to find a fix.
So the problem is that I want each group to have a different type of plot. "Probes" should be points and "Segments" should be lines (preferably using the segment plot command, but I've just been trying -- unsuccessfully -- to get lines to work). To be exact, the data looks like: loc val valtype mouse 1428 0.1812367 Probes 2 1439 -0.4534155 Probes 2 1499 -0.4957303 Probes 2 1559 0.2448838 Probes 2 1611 -0.2030937 Probes 2 1788 -0.2235331 Probes 2 1428 0.5 Segment 2 1439 0.5 Segment 2 1499 0.5 Segment 2 1559 0.5 Segment 2 1611 0.5 Segment 2 1788 0.5 Segment 2 1428 0.1812367 Probes 1 1439 -0.4534155 Probes 1 1499 -0.4957303 Probes 1 1559 0.2448838 Probes 1 1611 -0.2030937 Probes 1 1788 -0.2235331 Probes 1 1428 0.5 Segment 1 1439 0.5 Segment 1 1499 0.5 Segment 1 1559 0.1 Segment 1 1611 0.1 Segment 1 1788 0.1 Segment 1 * loc is the x-axis location * val is the y-axis value * valtype is equal to "which" had I been smart and used make.groups * mouse is the 'cond' variable The plot command I'm currently using is, xyplot(val ~ loc | mouse, data = df, groups=valtype aspect=0.5, layout=c(3,3), lty=0, lwd=3, type="p", col=c("black", "blue"), as.table = TRUE) which gives me black and blue points for the probes/segments (I've infered alphabetical order for the groups colors). When I change the type to c("p", "l"), I get xyplot(val ~ loc | mouse, data = df, groups=valtype aspect=0.5, layout=c(3,3), lty=0, lwd=3, type=c("p","l"), col=c("black", "blue"), as.table = TRUE) I get the exact same plot. I've tried using a few of the panel functions I found on the list (I was particularly hopeful for http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/07/30363.html) but I've either been misusing them, or they are not right for what I want to do. If anyone knows how to get points and lines in the same panel for the two different groups (probes/segments), I would love to hear about it. If you further know how to use the 'segment' plot in panels for the segments, I would really love to hear about it. Thanks in advance!
