Here is a literal solution (plot the 'meanplot' object in each panel): barchart(MeanX + MeanZ ~ Type|Subject, data=test , scales = list(x = list(rot = 60)), layout=c(1, l), panel = function(...) { plot(meanplot, newpage = FALSE) panel.abline(h=0) panel.grid(v = -length(levels(factor(test$Type))), h=0) panel.barchart(...) }) but a better solution may be to draw just the panel part (which doesn't work very well because the y-limits are different). barchart(MeanX + MeanZ ~ Type | Subject, data=test , scales = list(x = list(rot = 60)), layout=c(1, l), panel = function(...) { mpargs <- trellis.panelArgs(meanplot, 1) do.call(meanplot$panel, mpargs) panel.abline(h=0) panel.grid(v = -length(levels(factor(test$Type))), h=0) panel.barchart(...) }) -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.
