Hello.
I am having a problem directing the results of xYplot in the Hmisc
package to a file. First I'll give you my sessionInfo and then my
data and code, afterwhich I'll describe my problem.

Ylim <- c(pcs.means.sd$pcs-pcs.means.sd$sd-1,
pcs.means.sd$pcs+pcs.means.sd$sd+1)
trellis.device("postscript",color=FALSE,file="pcs.ps")
xYplot(Cbind(pcs,pcs-sd,pcs+sd)~vis,data=pcs.means.sd,groups=group,type='b',
method="bands",scales=list(x=list(at=c(0,2,6,18))),
ylim=Ylim,xlab="Months",ylab="PCS")
dev.off()
Now, when I call xYplot without the trellis.device() and dev.off() the
graph I want displays on the screen. When I try this with the
trellis.device() the plot is only partially created. The axes are drawn
but the actual plot area is empty except for the "curve" labels,
although these are plotted on to of each other in the wrong place.
I also tried putting my xYplot() inside a print() which gave the same
results.
