Thanks Duncan, but it's of no use. It still leaves space for two strips and doesn't use the first one. I don't actually want a style = 4. I used it as an example of when a factor.levels vector might be wanted. In my case I want a vector of expressions which can't be made factor levels. If I didn't need to show two conditioning variables, I'd have no problem.
I need to work out how which.given is meant to be used. It doesn't make sense to use it the way I have and I'll desist as soon as I find out how to use it properly. best Patrick Quoting Duncan Mackay <mac...@northnet.com.au>:
Hi Patrick Not sure what you finally want to achieve but will this do? I have reduced the size of the text to make them readible dotplot(variety ~ yield | year+ site, barley, strip = strip.custom(which.given = 2, style = 4, factor.levels = paste(levels(barley$year), substring(levels(barley$site), 1, 1)), par.strip.text = list(cex = 0.75)) )
