The technical reason is a fundamental part of the Trellis design. The prepanel function determines a bounding box as part of the initial calculations. Knowing this in advance allows the panel display and the axis rendering to be completely separated. Note that the panel.violin plot cannot easily say anything about the actual heights of the densities, only their shape. The y-axis there annotates the sample groups. -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.
