Thanks again, Bert, for taking the time to respond to my questions. It's doing exactly what I want now. I'm fairly new with lattice plots but they do seem like a big step forward. I'll look for Deepayan's book; thanks for the tip. -Tim On Tue, Jan 2015, 27 at 02:11:33PM -0800, Bert Gunter wrote

1. The trellis.par.get$superpose.line list controls the loess line appearance, I believe (check this!) 2. To control the overall loess curve in the panel, call it without the "..." arguments, e.g panel.loess(x,y, col.line="darkblue") You may have to modify argument lists appropriately if you wan

Thanks, Bert, for the reply. This is very helpful. I have to admit I've read the docs for the panel and panel.groups arguments before and gotten myself pretty confused. Your small example is very helpful. One more question for the list... Bert's panel.loess col='darkblue' argument is being ove

Learn to use custom panel functions to give you the flexibility and features you require. In this case, you want something like: xyplot(LRU~PAR|C3C4, groups = species, panel= function(x,y,...){ ## custom panel function to add an overall loess line panel.superpose(x,y,...)

[R] panel.xyplot and panel.loess using two different groupings

2015-01-27 Thread Timothy W. Hilton
Hello, I have a dataset consisting of four variables: species (factor, five levels), C3C4 (factor, two levels), and numeric variables PAR and LRU. I wish to produce a scatter plot of PAR vs LRU where (1) each species has a unique symbol and color (2) there is an overlaid loess line that is calcula
