R help - Feb 2006 - turn off selected axes in bwplot

I want to turn off selected axes in bwplot.  I would like to only have the
bottom axis drawn, with the others off.

I have a series of bwplots that I want on one device, like this:

p1<-bwplot(x1,box.ratio=.1)
p2<-bwplot(x2,box.ratio=.1)
...
print(p1,position=c(0,.8,1,1),more=T)
print(p2,position=c(0,.6,1,.8),more=T)
...

I know about the panel functions panel.bwplot() and panel.axis(), but I
don't know how to directly call them and change, for example, the side
parameter of panel.axis(), leaving all the other parameters of both panel
functions untouched.

The axis can be turned off altogether with:

trellis.par.set(axis.line = list( color="transparent"))

but this is obviously not what I need.

Does this do what you want?

bwplot(<...>,
       scales = list(x = list(alternating = 1, tck = c(1, 0))))

This is described in detail under 'scales' in ?bwplot.

Not quite.   This controls, if I've understood it correctly, the axis tick
marks and such (I also tried the argument "draw=FALSE" in the list
above).

The analogue I have in mind is the simple plot axes control like this

    plot(<...>, axes=FALSE)
    axis(1)

which would only draw the bottom axis, with tick marks and label.  Those
arguments, of course, don't work for the lattice graphics, but I did notice
a similar control in the panel.aixs() function, but I just don't know how to
get to it.
