Hi Rich Without an example to check I think you need to fill in the arguments for par.settings eg
par.settings = list(plot.symbol = list(c("black","red","dark green","dark blue","dark goldenrod","purple"), pch = 20, cex = 1), if you have groups par.settings = list(superpose.symbol = list(c("black","red","dark green","dark blue","dark goldenrod","purple"), pch = 20, cex = 1)), For other types such as barchart type barchart and at the top there is plot.symbol <- trellis.par.get("plot.symbol") plot.line <- trellis.par.get("plot.line") superpose.symbol <- trellis.par.get("superpose.symbol") superpose.line <- trellis.par.get("superpose.line") Similar occurs for panel.xyplot I find that ? xyplot and ?panel. ... give the most uptodate methods things change overtime. There are some words on how information is passed to the key in ?xyplot You either have to set trellis.par.set() or use the par.settings arguments For older versions things may be slightly different. If in a hurry I try the easiest but if that fails on the first go I just use key = list(text = ... etc Regards Duncan Duncan Mackay Department of Agronomy and Soil Science University of New England Armidale NSW 2351 Email: home: mac...@northnet.com.au -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Rich Shepard Sent: Thursday, 20 October 2016 10:05 To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Lattice xyplot(): adding a legend On Wed, 19 Oct 2016, Rich Shepard wrote: > I did read that but mis-applied what I read.

Here's the command to produce the plot: rainbyday <- xyplot(rain$amount ~ raindate, data = rain, main = "Area Precipitation", ylab = "Daily Total Amount (in)", xlab = "Date", scales = list(x=list(at=c(1,8,15,22,29,36,43,50,57,62), rot = 90), y = list(at=c(min(rain$amount), max(rain$amount)))), pch = 20, col = c("black","red","dark green","dark blue","dark goldenrod","purple"), key = simpleKey(text = levels(rain$station)[1:6], x = 0.2, y = 0.6, corner = c(0, 0), points = TRUE)) My question is how to pass pch = 20 to the key. simpleKey accepts only the logical TRUE as an argument and this produces a plot with filled circles for the data but unfilled circles for the key. I find no example of specifying pch for points in the key in either the book or ?xyplot, and I'm sure there is a way of having the key symbols match both pch and color as the data symbols. Is use of Rows() the solution?
