sorry, I've managed to find a (partial) solution to my problem (even not much elegant); now what is left out is the proper tweaking of labels...
any better solutions? dotplot(variety ~ yield | site, data = barley, layout = c(1,6), index.cond= function(x,y){median(x)}, panel = function(x,y,...) { panel.dotplot(x,y,...) median.values <- median(x) panel.abline(v=median.values, col.line="red") mean.values<-mean(x) panel.abline(v=mean.values, col.line="blue") panel.text(x=median.values,y=mean(as.numeric(y)), labels=round(median.values,0),col="red",pos=1,...) panel.text(x=mean.values,y=mean(as.numeric(y)), labels=round(mean.values,0),col="blue",pos=1,...) }) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/lattice-dotplot-labelling-median-and-mean-values-for-each-panel-tp4658900p4658912.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
