You haven't told us what determines the rectangles (only that they are
different in each panel). If they are completely driven by panel data,
here's an example:
panel.qrect <-
function(x, y, ...)
{
xq <- quantile(x, c(0.1, 0.9))
yq <- quantile(y, c(0.1, 0.9))
panel.rect(xq[1], yq[1], xq[2], yq[2],
col = "grey86", border = NA)
panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
}
xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species, iris,
panel = panel.qrect)
If the rectangles are somehow determined externally, you probably want
to use one of the accessor functions described in help(panel.number).
There are good and bad (i.e. less robust) ways to use these, but we
need to know your use case before recommending one.
