Thanks a lot Deepayan, one question:
Is it possible to place these barplots side-by-side instaed of super
imposing? Something like this:
http://www.imachordata.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/boxplot.png
library(lattice)
bwplot(yield ~ variety, data = barley, col = 1, pch = 16,
panel = panel.superpose, panel.groups = panel.bwplot,
auto.key=list(space="right"),
groups = year, scales=(x=list(rot=45)))
Thanks,
Peng
