Don't know what you did regarding par.settings to not get the desired result but that is, in fact, the way to go since both the key and the plot lines will get their colors from that:
xyplot(outcome ~ time, dat.ex, groups=drug, type=c("g", "smooth"), auto.key = list(space = "top", text = levels(dat.ex$drug), points=FALSE, lines=TRUE ), par.settings = list(superpose.line = list(col = rainbow(3)))) On 7/3/07, Afshartous, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > All, > > When specifying colors to xyplot w/ a groups argument, using > auto.key no longer maintains the colors properly.
