R help - Jan 2009 - Overlaying several qqnorm curves in same frame

Hi all,

I want to create a rather standard overlaid qqnorm plot on a single
variable, with different subgroups of the same dataset plotted using
different colors/symbols/etc. (I don't want side-by-side, rather
different-colored curves on the same graph)

I managed to do it rather tediously using "lapply" and
"split", and wondered
whether there is any single-command shortcut. Is there anything on the
"lattice" package perhaps?

Thanks in advance, Assaf

Yes, use qqmath(~x, groups=...), e.g.,

qqmath(~ height, data = singer, groups = voice.part, auto.key = TRUE)
