I've recently been playing with strip functions for a data presentation I'd like to use, and have a couple questions. I've cannibalised the useOuterStrips function from latticeExtra to give me the following sample code:
library(lattice) myData <- expand.grid( type = c('First 3 days','Whole profile'), sub = paste('Subject', 1:3, '\nDescription'), time = 1:10 ) myData$resp <- rnorm(nrow(myData)) y.limits <- rep(with(myData, by(resp, sub, function(.x) range(pretty(range(.x))))), each = 2) xyplot( resp ~ time | type * sub, data = myData, strip.left = function(which.given, which.panel, var.name, par.strip.text, ...) if(which.given == 1) strip.default(which.given = 1, which.panel = which.panel[1], var.name = var.name[1], par.strip.text = list(cex = 0.75), ...), strip = function(which.given, which.panel, var.name, par.strip.text, ...) if(which.given == 2) strip.default(which.given = 1, which.panel = which.panel[2], var.name = var.name[2], par.strip.text = list(cex = 0.75), ...), as.table = T, scales = list( x = list(relation = 'free', limits = list(c(1,3), c(1,10))), y = list(relation = 'free', limits = y.limits) ) ) There are 2 changes I'd like to make: Firstly, I'd like to expand the top strip only, so I can add more (than 2) rows of text. Normally I'd do that through calling par.strip.text with the lines argument. However, this appears to effect both strips. As above, I could define a par.strip.text inside each custom function, but this doesn't appear to work; indeed, the default for strip.default, trellis.par.get('add.text'), doesn't include this as an option, so I assume that there is some preprocessing that goes on (in the prepanel function?). Secondly, although I have custom y-axis ranges, you can see from the graph that the rows represent the same subject; hence, in the interest of saving space, I'd prefer to have no gap between columns. This isn't a show stopper though, so if it's not possible it's no great loss. I've looked through Deepayan's book (and, as many have done previously, extend my thanks as, despite being a fairly frequent lattice user, I've learnt a great deal from it - although I've not finished it yet, so if the answers are in there somewhere my apologies!) and couldn't see these issues addressed. If anyone has a solution it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
