As an aside, the recommended incantation is
xyplot(velocity ~ width | lengthf, data = SLI, <etc.>)

This wouldn't do anything new unless you also specify a 'levels'
argument in your call to factor().

Perhaps you are looking for
xyplot(velocity ~ width | lengthf, data = SLI,
as.table = TRUE, [...])
