I'm trying to use a lattice function within a function and have problems passing the "groups" argument properly. Let's say I have a data frame
d <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = c("a", "b")) and want to plot variable x in a densityplot, grouped by the variable y, then I would do something like densityplot(~ x, d, groups = y) If however I wanted to call the function "densityplot" within a function and pass the "groups" argument as an argument of that function, how would I have to proceed? It is not as straightforward as f <- function(data, groupvar) { densityplot(~ x, data, groups = groupvar) } probably because the lattice function "densityplot.formula" preprocesses the "groups" argument with groups <- eval(substitute(groups), data, environment(formula)) It there a way how I could pass the "groups" argument in the function "f"?
