Thanks for responding.  I looked at the micromap vignettes but it seems their 
focus is being able to provide small maps in one column in figures where the 
main emphasis is on statistics presented in other columns.  In my problem, all 
I want to show are maps.  I haven't been able to do this with a higher-level 
function like spplot or stplot.  I can imagine doing it with a custom panel 
function, where lpolygons() is used with input that depends on the panel.  

In case it helps, I should clarify that the "different polygons" I referred to 
are polygons with different spatial coordinates; the attribute values are a 
small number of discrete values.  My polygons are representations of 
contaminant plumes in groundwater.  For each year, I have read in a shapefile 
containing polygons of the contaminant concentration at 2 to 4 levels.  I have 
combined all of these data into a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, where each row 
represents a given year and concentration level, and contains one or more 
polygons.  The coordinates are different in each row, but years and 
concentration level are common across rows.  This seems to match the nature of 
a "long table" format in spacetime, but I haven't been able to work it out in 
that package, hence I'm stepping back and trying to get the basics working with 
spplot.

Thanks,
Scott
