I consider bwplot to already provide a grouped display (box plots are univariate summaries, and bwplot allows you to display several of them together within a panel). What you are looking for may be appropriate in certain situations, but is not general enough to warrant a built-in implementation. In other words, you'll have to write your own panel function. > I thought I'd find something about this in the archives, but I'm > either not using the right keywords or the question hasn't come up > yet.

Yes, they are next to each other, but in different panels, as expected when using a formula like that. I should have been more explicit saying that I want the conditioning variable to show within a panel. > If the lattice structure is your issue (it appears you wish to remove > the structure and replace it with a wider space) then I guess you might > find writing your own code easier than forcing lattice to be something > other than itself. I disagree. IMHO, I don't think the sole purpose of lattice is to put plots in different panels. There are several cases, where (I think) lattice can "mark" groups of data in a single panel more efficiently than other tools. One may or may not need other conditioning variables to show in different panels. -- Sebastian P.

RE: [R] alternative to 'groups' for lattice bwplot()
I'm afraid you have lost me. What is it that you want that reordering the formula does not achieve. bwplot(yield ~ year | site, data = barley) has sites next to each other. If the lattice structure is your issue (it appears you wish to remove the structure and replace it with a wider space) then I guess you might find writing your own code easier than forcing lattice to be something other than itself. > -Original Message- > From: Sebastian Luque [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 23 March 2005 2:11 PM > To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [R] alternative to 'groups' for lattice bwplot() > > > Hi, > > Is there some alternative to the 'groups' argument in lattice's bwplot > function for boxplots?
