Hi,

I thought the following would only remove the legend element of a
trellis object, but it actually removes both the legend and key
elements:

---<--------------------cut here--------------- start------------------->---
fig <- xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length, groups=Species, data=iris,
             key=list(x=1, y=0.02, corner=c(1, 0), size=3, between=1,
               text=list(levels(iris$Species))),
             legend=list(inside=list(fun="draw.key", x=0, y=1,
                           corner=c(0, 1),
args=list(key=list(text=list("a)", cex=1.5)),
                             draw=FALSE))))
update(fig, legend=NULL)
---<--------------------cut here--------------- end--------------------->---

Is this the right way to remove an element from the object, using
update.trellis()?  Thanks.

It probably depends on the element. In the case of "key", it is a descendant of the legend list so when you make legend NULL you are wiping out all of its descendants as well:
> str(fig)
List of 43
snipped a few lines
 $ legend           :List of 2
  ..$ inside:List of 5
  .. ..$ fun   : chr "draw.key"
  .. ..$ args  :List of 2
  .. .. ..$ key :List of 6
  .. .. .. ..$ x      : num 1
  .. .. .. ..$ y      : num 0.02
  .. .. .. ..$ corner : num [1:2] 1 0
  .. .. .. ..$ size   : num 3

  .. .. ..$ key :List of 1
  .. .. .. ..$ text:List of 2
  .. .. .. .. ..$    : chr "a)"
