Fairly hard. The problem is that lattice conceptually separates the array-like structure defined by the conditioning variables, and the array-like structure defined by the layout. It makes sense to relate them when you have exactly two conditioning variables (and the corresponding layout), but not otherwise. For example, what you want will not be sensible if you have a single conditioning variable with, say, 12 levels, and you plot the panels in a 3x4 layout. Unfortunately, this makes row/column scaling difficult to do even when it makes sense. On the other hand, it should not be too hard to write a general wrapper (similar to 'useOuterStrips' in latticeExtra) that automates most of the tedious work. -Deepayan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
