R help - May 2008 - Plotting points on line graphs using xYplot in Hmisc

Hello,

I am using xYplot to plot lines with confidence bands (see test 
example below).  I would like to add a single point with 
confidence bars to each graph (coordinates of the points below: 
px, py, pxlow, etc...).  I tried playing with 
panel=panel.superpose, but failed to get it to work.  Any ideas on 
how to add these points to the graphs?

Thanks for your help,
John


## Test example

x1=seq(1,30,0.5)
y1=x1^2
y2=10*(x1^2)
ycomb=c(y1,y2)
y.up=ycomb+0.1*ycomb
y.low=ycomb-0.1*ycomb
grp=rep(c("Anls","Plts"),each=length(x1))
dat=as.data.frame(cbind(ycomb, y.up, y.low, 
rep(x1,2)),stringsAsFactors=F)
colnames(dat)=c("ycomb","y.up","y.low","x1")
py=c(200,2000); pylow=c(190,1900); pyhi=c(210,2100)
px=c(0,0); pxlow=c(0,0); pxhi=c(0,0)

with(dat,xYplot(Cbind(ycomb, y.up, y.low)~x1|factor(grp),
     data=dat,type="l", method="filled bands",
col.fill="light
grey",
     
scales=list(y=list(relation="free"),x=list(alternating=c(1,1,1))),
     ylim=list(c(0,1200),c(0,10000)),
     strip=strip.custom(factor.levels=c(expression("Anls 
km"^2),expression("Plants km"^2)))))

If you want to add the same lines/points in all panels, you could
write a not-too-complicated custom panel function; e.g.,

with(dat,
     xYplot(Cbind(ycomb, y.up, y.low)~x1|factor(grp),
            data=dat,type="l",
            method="filled bands",
            col.fill="light grey",
            subscripts = TRUE,
            panel = function(...) {
                panel.xYplot(...)
                panel.segments(pxlow, pylow, pxhi, pyhi)
            },
            scales            list(y=list(relation="free"),
                 x=list(alternating=c(1,1,1))),
            ylim=list(c(0,1200),c(0,10000))))

Hello Deepayan,

Thanks for the below solution to my graphing problem - just what I 
was looking for.

One quick additional question, where do I change graphical 
settings (lwd, pch, etc...) for the added points?

Thanks,
John

Hello Deepayan,

Please ignore my last e-mail and question.  The information was 
easily found in ?panel.segments.

Thanks,
John
