Bert, Thank you very much for your reply. Your suggestions to set manually y-limits of panels in lattice plot certainly puts me on the right track.
It works really well with xyplot(): hf <- data.frame(   x=seq(1,20,by=1),   y=seq(0.1,2,by=0.1),   risk=gl(2,10,labels=c("low","high")),   treatment=rep(gl(2,5,labels=c("oXX","oYY")),2))              xyplot(y~x|treatment+risk,data=hf,type="b",       scales=list(y=list(limits=list(c(-0.1,1.1),c(-0.1,1.1),                                      c(1.0,2.1),c(1.0,2.1)),                   at=list(seq(0,1,0.2),NULL,                           seq(1,2,0.2),NULL),                   relation="free"))) With the xyplot() above, I get 2x2 lattice where panels in the same row have the same y-limits: Panel 1,2 (row 1): -0.1, 1.1 Panel 3,4 (row 2): 1.0, 2.1 Unfortunately, it does not work so well with dot plots: kf <- data.frame(subject=c("A","BB","A","C","DDD","DDD"),                 risk=c("low","low","low","high","high","high"),                 treatment=c("oXX","oXX","oYY","oXX","oXX","oYY"),                 count=c(5,7,10,4,13,8)) kf$risk <- factor(kf$risk,levels=c("low","high")) kf$treatment <- factor(kf$treatment,levels=c("oXX","oYY")) lims.low <- factor(c("A","BB")) lims.high <- factor(c("C","DDD")) dotplot(subject~count|treatment+risk,data=kf,type=c("p","h"),        scales=c(y=list(limits=list(lims.low,lims.low,                               lims.high,lims.high),                        relation="free"))) With the dotplot() above I get 2x2 lattice plot where all panels have the same y-limits; y-ticks on all panels are 'A','BB','C','DDD'. This behaviour is probably fixed by design. According to documentation for prepanel functions: "... to make this information consistent between panels, the âxlimâ or âylimâ values should represent all the levels of the corresponding factor, even if some are not used within that particular panel." A way to trick lattice would be to use xyplot() with a custom panel function. I'll give a try today or tomorrow.

I know of no "slick" way of doing this (others may), as what is in a row can change depending on layout and how you determine the scale for the rows' contents may depend on the application context. So I would do it manually: First, outside of trellis, compute your xlim and ylim values for each row as you desire. Then issue the trellis call, with the relation="free" component in the scales = list, Then just use the list form of the xlim and ylim argument to xyplot with your precomputed limits. -- Bert > 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. > > HTH > > Duncan > > Duncan Mackay > Department of Agronomy and Soil Science > University of New England > Armidale NSW 2351 > Email: home: mackay at northnet.com.au At 07:54 16/02/2013, you wrote: >>Good afternoon, >>I would like to ask for help in controlling y-axis limits >>and labels in >lattice doplots. Unfortunately, the problem is somewhat >>convoluted, >please bear with the long explanation. >>I would like to create >>a 3x3 lattice of dotplots, say subject ~ count. >The plot is conditioned on >>variables treatment and risk: subject ~ count >|treatment + risk. In the >>experiment, not all subjects were exposed >to all combinations of treatment >>and risk. For each risk, I would like >to show subject ~ count | treatment >>and order the subjects by the total >count. At the same time, I would like >>the x-axes to be the same in all >panels and aligned by columns. >>Here is a >>sample data set: >># raw data >df <- >>data.frame(subject=c('A','A','A','BB','BB','CCC','CCC','CCC', >>>'DD','DD','A','A','A','FFFF','FFFF', >'A','A','B','B'), >>>>risk=c('high','high','high','high','high','high','high','high', >>>'med','med','med','med','med','med','med', > >'low','low','low','low'), >>>treatment=c('none','optX','optZ','none','optZ','none','optX','optZ', >>>'none','optZ','none','optX','optZ','none','optZ', >>'none','optX','none','optZ'), >count=c(5,10,2,3,5,8,1,2, >3,7,10,2,5,15,2, >>7,7,10,8)) ># re-level factors >df$risk <- >factor(df$risk,levels=c('low','med','high')) >df$treatment <- >factor(df$treatment,levels=c('none','optX','optZ')) >>>## > df >##  >subject risk treatment count >## 1    A high   none  5 >## >2    A high   optX  10 >## 3    A high   optZ >  2 >## 4   BB high   none  3 >## 5   BB high  > optZ  5 >## 6   CCC high   none  8 >## 7   CCC >high   optX  1 >## 8   CCC high   optZ  2 >## 9 >  DD med   none  3 >## 10   DD med   optZ  > 7 >## 11   A med   none  10 >## 12   A med   > optX  2 >## 13   A med   optZ  5 >## 14  FFFF med   none  15 >## 15  FFFF med   optZ > 2 >## 16   A low   none  7 >## 17   A low  >  optX  7 >## 18   B low   none  10 >## 19   >B low   optZ  8 >>One way to plot the data is to break-up the >data into sub-frames, one >frame for each risk, order subjects by total >counts, create dotplots, >and merge with trellis.c(). This almost works but >in the merged plot I >cannot decrease column spacing to be small enough. >Also, the output of >trellis.c() would not work with useOuterStrips() which I >really like. >My code is in TRY ONE below. >>Another way to create the plot is >specify y-limits for each panel with >custom prepanel and panel functions. >For each panel, the data-frame for >the panel row is isolated, subjects in the >data-frame for the current >row are ordered by counts, panel y-limits are set >to the re-ordered >levels, y-data for each panel is releveled, and data >plotted with >standard panel.dotplot(). This somewhat works but lattice does not >honour > the user-defined y-limits and labels are not correct. I suspect >that it >is not correct to use y-relation="same" in this case but "free" >and >"sliced" do not give correct results too.
