R help - Dec 2009 - Label individual points in lattice by and ID

I am using a plot to inspect data points, and I would like to identify each
point with respect to an ID. At issue is that I am producing a faceted plot
with many IDs (96) and the key is far to large to accurately identify points
by color.

1) Can you direct me on labeling or printing data points by an ID instead of
a point, as in "ID" in this toy example
2) alternately is there method for printing a key for each panel which shows
only those IDs which appear in the panel at hand?

x<-as.factor(1:5)
y<-rnorm(1:10)
ID<-1:5
f1<-c("a","b")
f2<-c("x","y")

dat<-expand.grid(x=x, y=y, id=ID, f1=f1, f2=f2)

xyplot(y~x | f1 + f2, dat)



Thanks
Pat

Sorry.  My previous code didn't quite display my problem correctly.  To make
my point more clear, I want to use my "groups" as the label for the
point,
or rather the point itself.  The key becomes illegible with many groups.

x<-as.factor(1:5)
y<-rnorm(1:10)
f1<-c("a","b")
f2<-c("x","y")

dat<-expand.grid(x=x, y=y, f1=f1, f2=f2)
dat$ID <- 1:dim(dat)[1]

xyplot(y~x | f1 + f2, groups=ID,dat)

xyplot(y~x | f1 + f2, groups=ID,auto.key=TRUE,dat)  # more accurate rep of
problem with key


Thanks
Pat
