hi, I just realised I want to go a little further in the control of the chart appearance and I would like to have the same number of ticks displayed in
both axes of all panels

given this code....

xyplot(tv ~ ms | sub_family, data=tm,
     #as.table=TRUE,
     aspect="xy",
     xlab = expression(paste('ms [ fg/', m^3, ' ]', sep = '')),
     ylab = expression(paste('tv [ fg/', m^3, ' ]', sep = '')),
     scales= list(x=list(relation="free", log=10, cex=0.8),
                  y=list(relation="free", log=10, cex=0.8)),

I'm wondering if you should be using relation="free" when you have already set a panel specific range for the x and y limits? I'm thinking that the panel function may be reversing your earlier prepanel efforts. (No data offered ... why don't you use one of the many test datasets in the examples of the lattice package?)


     prepanel = function(x, y, subscripts) {
       rr<- range(cbind(x,y))
       list(xlim = rr, ylim= rr)

     },
     panel = function(x, y ,subscripts,...) {
       panel.xyplot(x, y, cex=0.8,...)
       panel.abline(a = 0, b = 1, lty = 2, col ="gray")
panel.text(x, y, labels=tm$name_short[subscripts], cex = 0.8, pos=3,
offset=0.5, srt=0, adj=c(1,1))
     },
subscripts=TRUE,
     xscale.components = xscale.components.logpower,
     yscale.components = yscale.components.logpower
     )

...I have been trying to insert in the 'prepanel' and also in the 'panel' the statement 'tick.number=5' but this does not seem to have any effect

some useful hints for this?

thanks a lot
