R help - Aug 2006 - xyplot with different symbols and colors?

Dear List,

I try to make a xyplot with different colors and symbols, I came this far:

library(DAAG)
xyplot(csoa~it|sex*agegp,data=tinting,groups=target,pch=list(1,2),auto.key=list(space
= "right"))


this produces a plot with different colors and symbols but unfortunately
the legend does only follow the color scheme and not the different symbols.

Any suggestions what to change?

And how do I change or switch of that background colors in each plots title?

I think that 'pch' is passed only to the panel function, and the key
uses
whatever the current trellis.par.set() is, if you don't define it
explicitly (all explained in ?xyplot).  I find it easier to call
trellis.par.set before the xyplot:


R> trellis.par.set(superpose.symbol=list(pch=c(1, 2)))
Warning message:
Note: The default device has been opened to honour attempt to modify trellis
settings in: trellis.par.set(superpose.symbol = list(pch = c(1, 2)))
R>
xyplot(csoa~it|sex*agegp,data=tinting,groups=target,auto.key=list(space="right"))

Thanks that did it!
