I assume he means you should read it *before asking questions*, or at least before suggesting that something is a [BUG?]. It does have an index, one entry of which is 7.22 Why do lattice/trellis graphics not work? Reading the FAQ index is no more work than you are asking other people to do, and it will get you an answer even faster. Of course, you *did* get an answer to your question, very quickly, so reading the FAQ may seem inefficient. I guess this FAQ-entry about fully intuitive behaviour of xyplot came last year, right? Well, the behaviour predates the R implementation and is described in help(xyplot). Obviously no-one except you thinks it it fully intuititve, or it wouldn't be in the FAQ. -thomas Thomas Lumley Assoc.

I don't think anyone's suggesting that. However, before you post to r-devel, especially suggesting that you have found a BUG, you should have scanned the FAQ questions (not necessarily the answers) to see if one matches yours. Technical documentation is not a detective novel, meant to be read once in your lifetime, it's a reference that you should know how to look up when necessary. > I guess this FAQ-entry about fully intuitive behaviour of xyplot came > last year, right? > > BTW, just imagine that the problem is not me.

The answer to your question is also available in lattice documentation, which you also obviously have not read. What excuse do you have for that? > Anyway I have no fun to follow this flame. But surely we are entitled to flame you when you waste our time by relying on your 'intuition' rather than written documentation which we have spent a lot of effort producing? (In any case, Prof Ripley's 'flaming' in this case was pretty mild, in fact practically non-existent, compared to his usual standards :-)) Deepayan > > Thank you for your valuable contribution to R. > > With *kind* regards, > Valery. __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

I have read the FAQ *twice* already since I have had to deal with R. First time about 4 years ago, second about 2 years ago. Do you mean, Dr.Ripley, one has to carefully read this 100-pages-FAQ-manual one time per year or even more often? I guess this FAQ-entry about fully intuitive behaviour of xyplot came last year, right? BTW, just imagine that the problem is not me. Maybe if the FAQ is too long then one could reconsider decisions, which have led to this situation. Anyway I have no fun to follow this flame. Thank you for your valuable contribution to R.

Please DO as the posting guide asks and read the FAQ before posting. Do read Q7.22 (and its answer).
