Thankyou very much rui.i was trying the following command but i was unsuccessful in implementing the secondary axis. > library(lattice)> df <- data.frame(x = x, y = y, z= z)> > > xyplot(x~y,data=df,groups=z,+ > par.settings=list(superpose.symbol=list(pch=1:4,+ > col='black'))) By the way, is there a way that instead of making a separate secondary axis, we could put a small classification number on the top of every symbol?? Thankyou very much for helping me out....
