Perfect, that piece of code did exactly what I wanted. However, I stumpled upon a new problem, now my data is plotted on a totally wrong scale. The y-values are all between 160k and 500k, BUT now with that option I find that the plots are between 0 and 50 (?!?). What did I do wrong?
This plots the data OK, even thoug it should be between 160k and 500k on the y-scale: xyplot(data1[,2]+data1[,3]~data1[,1], data = data1, type = "l", xlab = "x", ylab = "y", auto.key = list(space="top", lines = T, points = F, text=c("text1", text2")), par.settings = simpleTheme(lty = c(1,2)), scales=list( x=list(alternating=FALSE,tick.number = 11), y=list(limits=c(0,50)) ) ) If I remove the " y=list(limits=c(0,50))" the dat is plotted as it should.
