Hi Christine, When I try to run your script, the plot fails: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'culr' not found > names(Raw) [1] "Date" "Year" "Station" "Abun" "Date1"
so I changed the second line to: groups=Year, and it did work. The default (pink, gray) background colors for the symbols do appear when the symbol is changed to pch=21. The arguments col="black",bg=c("gray","black"), would produce the symbols you want in base graphics, but do not seem to do so in lattice. I do get sort of what you want by modifying your code pretty radically: xyplot(Abun~Date1|Station, data=Raw, groups = Year, par.settings = list(strip.background = list(col = "transparent")), type="p", pch = rep(21,2), col="black", fill=c("gray","black"), xlab=list("Month",cex=1.5), ylab=list("Abundance",cex=1.5), index.cond=list(c(1,2,3,4)), auto.key = T, layout=c(4,1)) Jim On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 5:20 PM, Christine Lee via R-help < r-help@r-project.org> wrote: > Dear All, > > I have an embarssing question, I want to put a black line as a rim on the > grey symbol in the xyplot, to no avail. > .
