Well, the ideal solution would have been for auto.key to magically omit the levels of 'groups' that are omitted by the application of 'subset', but there is not enough information available to it for this to happen. One option is to 1. subset the data beforehand, and drop unsed levels with Group[drop=TRUE] 2. supply colors, etc. explicitly through 'par.settings'. The other option is to construct your own key (i.e., use the 'key' argument, not 'auto.key', to specify the legend). It should be simple to write a function that constructs a suitable 'key' argument given the levels that are to be omitted/retained. -Deepayan ______________________________________________ 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.
