All,
I'm plotting points and lines for various groups. I'd like subsequent plots done on subsets to maintain the color assignments from the original plot. This works fine, but the key for the subset doesn't maintain the correspondence. One solution is to reprint the entire key, but this is undesirable since then the key has more elements than the groups in the plot. Reproducible example below. Cheers, David dat = data.frame( Y = c(rnorm(4,0), rnorm(4,2), rnorm(4,6), rnorm(4,8)), Group = factor(c(rep("A", 4), rep("B", 4), rep("C", 4), rep("D", 4))), Hour = rep(c(1:4), 4) ) ## plots colors and key correctly: xyplot(Y ~ Hour, data = dat, pch = 16, groups=Group, type="b", auto.key = list(space = "top", text = levels(Group), points = FALSE, lines = TRUE, columns=4), par.settings = list(superpose.line = list(lty = c(1,2,3,4) ) ) ) dev.new() ## does not plot colors and key correctly: xyplot(Y ~ Hour, data = dat, pch = 16, subset = (Group != "A"), groups=Group, type="b", auto.key = list(space = "top", text = levels(Group)[2:4], points = FALSE, lines = TRUE, columns=3), par.settings = list(superpose.line = list(lty = c(1,2,3,4) ) ) ) ______________________________________________ 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.
