Hi manuel

Have a look at http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/help/07/05/17666.html

Just plugging in your xlabs everything is OK for Deepayan's example

xyplot(1:9 ~ 1:9 | gl(3, 1, 9),
       layout = c(3, 1),
        xlab  = myXlabGrob('Trial number',
                  'Subject number',
                  'Experimental condition'),
       strip = FALSE )

But when I use myXlabGrob to your example the labels are not centered

xyplot(b ~ a | d, e,
       scales = list(y = list(relation = "free", rot = 0)),
       aspect = 1.8, layout = c(3, 1),
       strip = F,
       xlab.top = myXlabGrob('Trial number',
                  'Subject number',
                  'Experimental condition')
       )

Is there something extra you can do with xlab.top?
Otherwise you could do it with grid.text but that is a bit of a pain.

Hi,

I created a xyplot with a three-column layout. As suggested by Deepayan I tried to put titles to each column by using xlab.top. Unfortunately, as my y-axis scale relation = "free", the column titles are not centered at the three x axes anymore. Any idea how to center the titles?

#Example:
require(lattice)
#require(latticeExtra)
e <- data.frame(a = c(1:30), b = c(1:10,  20:29, 990:999),
                d = c(rep("A", 10), rep("B", 10), rep("C", 10)))
#column titles centered for relation = "same"
xyplot(b ~ a | d, e,
       scales = list(y = list(relation = "same", rot = 0)),
       aspect = 1.8, layout = c(3, 1),
       xlab.top = c("This is centered", "Bla", "Bla")
       )
#column titles not centered for relation = "free"
xyplot(b ~ a | d, e,
       scales = list(y = list(relation = "free", rot = 0)),
       aspect = 1.8, layout = c(3, 1),
       xlab.top = c("This is not centered", "Bla", "Bla")
       )
# end of example

Best regards,
manuel
