Run this before the bwplot() command: z$Method <- factor(z$Method, levels = c("BIC", "ICL", "s_v", "Q_v", "sig-q", "s_lsk", "s_lML", "s_mlsk", "s_mlML", "s_la8", "s_haar"))
I don't have an answer for the 2nd question. Seems like it must be possible. ---------------------------------------------- David L Carlson Associate Professor of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843-4352 > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces@r- > project.org] On Behalf Of jim holtman > Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2012 5:57 PM > To: Ranjan Maitra > Cc: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] two questions re: the use of lattice > > Answer to you first question, try this at the start of bwplot to > specify ordering: > > bwplot(Error~factor(Method, levels = unique(Method)) > > On Sat, Jul 21, 2012 at 2:42 PM, Ranjan Maitra > <maitra.mbox.igno...@inbox.com> wrote: > > Dear friends, > > > > I have two questions regarding the use of lattice.
