Just an afterthought if any one really needs to do it again. The crux of the matter is the different limits in the 2 plot x and y scales. It may be easier to accomplish this with a prepanel function to get the limits eg panel.loess

I ended up using a combination of your suggestions. I used Duncan's y.limits ration of two plots with differing types (percent and density), to provide me with a scale variable. I then used this in Peter's dnorm_scaled function and called it using panel.mathdensity. See below for my amended code. Regards, Jim x1<-histogram(~rdf[,j]|Year,nint=20, data=rdf,main = i,strip = my.strip,xlab = j, type = "density",layout=c(2,1)) x2<-histogram(~rdf[,j]|Year,nint=20, data=rdf,main = i,strip = my.strip,xlab = j, type = "percent",layout=c(2,1)) scale <- x2$y.limits/x1$y.limits dnorm_scaled <- function(...){ scale[1]*dnorm(...)} histogram(~rdf[,j]|Year,nint=20, data=rdf,main = i,strip = my.strip,xlab = j, type = "percent",layout=c(2,1), panel=function(x, ...) { panel.histogram(x, ...) panel.mathdensity(dmath=dnorm_scaled, col="black", # Add na.rm = TRUE to mean() and sd() args=list(mean=mean(x, na.rm = TRUE), sd=sd(x, na.rm = TRUE)), ...) }) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Lattice-Histogram-with-Normal-Curve-Y-axis-as- percentages-tp4690000p4690093.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
