I'm not sure what you mean by that, but my intention in pointing you towards show.settings() was to make you realize that you should be using "superpose.polygon" rather than "superpose.symbol" in the value of 'key' in your code. Keep everything else unchanged, and you should get what you want. > In any event, when I look at show.settings() > I don't see the cyan color at all. So I tried colors 1 thru 9 without > success.

As the documentation of 'auto.key' in ?barchart and ?simpleKey (which the former points to) suggests, the following works: barchart(rownames(example)~example$LandFill+example$Ruminants, auto.key = list(text=c("Landfill","Enteric Fermentation"))) > I have read MASS on trellis, I've read the > barchart help and I can't find any specification of the color sequence choices > in either of these. Well, ?barchart does say that it will accept arguments to the panel function, and it also asks you to read ?panel.barchart, which says: Usage: panel.barchart(x, y, box.ratio = 1, ... col = if (is.null(groups)) plot.polygon$col else superpose.polygon$col, ... which is explicit enough, in my opinion. > I'm happy to read any other documentation, but most things I found > on the net stop short just when the most detail is needed!

When you are using a package you are supposed to consult the accompanying documentation, not a book (which, incidentally, was written for the S-PLUS version, where your code will not work in the first place) or the 'net'. The fact that this documentation is long is not your fault, but you don't really get to complain about it. -Deepayan > > Cheers, > Geoff. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
