Thanks, Jeff, It did work in one way if I use
xyplot(Y~X|as.factor(ID*PERIOD),data=...) But I would like to do something like xyplot(Y~X|as.factor(paste("ID=",ID)*paste("PERIOD=",PERIOD)),data=...) Then, it didn't work The error message: Error in paste("ID=", ID) * paste("PERIOD=", PERIOD) : non-numeric argument to binary operator On Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 11:08 AM, Jeff Newmiller <jdnew...@dcn.davis.ca.us>wrote: > Set up a single (factor) variable that identifies the combinations that > exist, and plot using that variable. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
