lattice question: adding slopes to bwplot"

Hi,

Thanks. It made sense indeed: enough to discover the panel.linejoin function
which does what I was looking for.

<error here>
I also understand now why I didn't find this, and associated, routine:
library(help="lattice") does not list them, and on my installation,
help(panel.functions) (which might) returns an error.
</error>

So what works for me is, basically:

bwplot( y~x|z, panel=function(x,y,...) {
	panel.bwplot( x,y, ... )
	panel.linejoin( x,y, horizontal=F )
} )

(Note the horizontal=F; by default, panel.linejoin will invert x and y.
panel.linejoin(x,y,...) seems to work too, though)


8-) This added ablines (horizontal lines) to an xyplot.   The call to a panel
8-) function let me add two ablines and a loess smooth.

8-) Does that make sense?
