You can fix this by supplying the value of 'subscripts' that would
have been passed has this been a separate xyplot() call:
xyplot(
Measurements ~ PlotAt,
data = data1,
groups=Names,
type="smooth",
span=0.75,
degree=1,
panel = function(...) {
panel.superpose(...);
panel.xyplot(data2$PlotAt,data2$Measurements,groups=data2$Names,
subscripts=seq_len(nrow(data2)))
})
However, a cleaner solution would be to combine your data first:
xyplot(Measurements ~ PlotAt,
data = make.groups(data1, data2),
groups=Names,
panel = panel.superpose,
distribute.type = TRUE,
type=c("smooth", "smooth", "p", "p"),
span=0.75,
degree=1)
