I haven't had much luck with a custom panel function; mainly because I don't truly understand how to embedd the functionality into the xyplot command.
Here's a reproducible example if you can help out. Thanks, Dave library (lattice) d <- NULL models <- c('A','B','C','D') n = 100 for (i in seq(along = models)){ d <- rbind( d, data.frame ( Model = models[i], Year = seq(1960, length.out=n, by = 1), SnowLineElevation = runif(n, 0, 100) ) ) } xyplot ( SnowLineElevation ~ Year | Model, data = d, ylim = c(0,100), type = c('p','smooth'), col = 'blue', pch = 21, xlab = 'Year', ylab = 'Snowline Elevation [m]' ) -----Original Message----- From: Sundar Dorai-Raj [mailto:sdorai...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 11:43 AM To: Hutchinson,David [PYR] Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] xyplot with lowess curves You'll need a custom panel function. It would also help if you provided a reproducible example: xyplot ( SnowLineElevation ~ Year | Model, data = data, panel = function(x, y, col, ...) { col <- ifelse(panel.number() == 1, "red", "green") panel.xyplot(x, y, col = "blue", ...) panel.loess(x, y, col = col) }, ylim = c(0,1800), pch = 21, xlab = 'Year', ylab = 'Snowline Elevation [m]' ) Alternatively, you can use the group argument in conjunction with the panels: xyplot(SnowLineElevation ~ Year | Model, data, groups = Model, type = c("p", "smooth")) if you want the points and the lines to be the same color. --sundar On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 10:20 AM, Hutchinson,David [PYR] <david.hutchin...@ec.gc.ca> wrote: > I am trying to change the attributes of the lowess lines fit to an > xyplot command, but have been unsuccessful in my search of the online > help.
