If Deepayan's suggestion does not suit and especially *if* I understand what you want to do correctly, then it seems to me that it is straightforward to create the groups and group labels manually:
## in verbose detail to hopefully improve clarity set.seed(123) ## for reprex y <- runif(40,min=0, max= 10) ##*small* reprex ## cut y into 5 equally spaced groups labeled by log10 of the center ## of the intervals yrng <- range(y) eps <- .0001*c(-1,1)*diff(yrng) ## see ?cut yrng <-yrng + eps delta <- diff(yrng)/5 # 5 = number of intervals brks <- seq(yrng[1], yrng[2],length.out =6) labs <- round(log10(brks[-1] - delta/2), 2) ## log10 (centers) groups <- cut(y,breaks = brks, labels = paste0('10^',labs)) # creating the dataframe for the lattice functions DF <- data.frame( y = y, groups = groups) bwplot( y ~ groups , data=DF , scales = list( y = list(log=T) ), ) ## Of course, ignore if I have misunderstood.
