R help - Feb 2003 - trellis.datasets help

I've looked every way I can think of for help on trellis.datasets, but
nothing comes
up for me.  Please help me find information on what is included, and how to get
at
those data.  Thanks.

Look at William Cleveland''s web page:
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/ms/departments/sia/wsc/index.html
And at the Trellis homepage (see last sentence there):

Hope that helps.

Are you talking about lattice ? 

If so, help(singer) brings up the following:

trellis.datasets           package:lattice           R Documentation

Data Sets in the Lattice library

Description:

     These data sets are included to facilitate the same examples as
     S-Plus trellis. (Detailed descriptions of the datasets are omitted
     for now.)

Usage:

     data(singer)
     data(melanoma)
     data(ethanol)
     data(sunspot)
     data(environmental)

Source:

     These datasets are part of the collection of datasets used in the
     book Visualizing Data by Bill Cleveland, and are available at Bill
     Cleveland's Homepage <URL:

which should point you to Bill Cleveland's website and book.
