Hi Duncan, Thank you for quick reply.
I am not sure that your solution solves the problem. If I use useOuterStrips(dotplot(count ~ subject|risk*treatment,df)) the order of subjects and panel y-limits in each panel are A, B, BB, CCC, DD, FFFF. However, the order of subjects and y-limits which I would like to get are Panels 1,2,3 (row 1): A, B Panels 4,5,6 (row 2): DD, A, FFFF Panels 7,8,9 (row 3): BB, CCC, A. I can re-index subjects so that they have correct order in each row. However, I am not sure how to specify per-panel y-limits in lattice so that all panels in the same row have the same y-limits irrespective of what data is in these panels. With relation "same", the limits are the same for all plots; with relation "free" the limits depend on the data in the panel. I thought that relation "free" and specification of y-limits via prepanel function (my previous trys) or as a list would do the trick: scales=list(y=list(limits=list(panel-1-limits, panel-2-limits, ...)) but I cannot get it to work. I guess I am missing something basic ... any ideas or advice to give up are greatly appreciated. Regards, Boris. Hi Boris Not sure what you mean exactly try library(latticeExtra) useOuterStrips(dotplot(count ~ subject|risk*treatment,df)) if you want to change the order of the subjects in each panel and an index column and plot the index column instead of subject and change the scales to suit.
