I am using windows XP with R 2.8.1 I am generating a lattice plot of annual rain patterns using the following function:> xyplot(rain.stats$min+ rain.stats$max + rain.stats$ave ~rain.stats$month |rain.stats$year, lty = 1, data = rain.stats, type = c("l","l", "l"), col c("red", "blue", "green"), distribute.type = TRUE, main = "Annual Monthly Minimum, Average and Maximum PPT") Each panel is labels with "rain.stats$year" instead of the actual value referenced by this variable. the data.frame I'm using has the following form (year values range from 1965 to 2000 and month from 1 to 12).> dim(rain.stats) > 432 6>rain.stats[1:10,]year month X2 min max ave 1 1965 1 1 0.0000 1.9196 0.3650112 2 1966 1 1 2.1483 4.9615 3.5247034 3 1967 1 1 0.4038 3.9145 1.7133045 4 1968 1 1 0.2033 3.2119 1.1844769 5 1969 1 1 1.2533 5.6226 2.9505545 6 1970 1 1 0.9142 3.8861 2.6248453 7 1971 1 1 0.1191 1.6109 0.6570289 8 1972 1 1 0.2309 2.9380 0.9259674 9 1973 1 1 0.9471 3.6342 1.9019848 10 1974 1 1 0.1739 9.0225 1.0672980 The plot illustrates exactly what I'm after with the exception of the panel labels.

would you mind creating a dummy data.frame or maybe dput() a smaller subset of the data frame? thanks Stephen Sefick On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 9:28 AM, <Steve_Friedman at nps.gov> wrote:> > I am using windows XP with R 2.8.1 > > > I am generating a lattice plot of annual rain patterns using the following > function: > > >> ?xyplot(rain.stats$min+ rain.stats$max + rain.stats$ave ~ > rain.stats$month |rain.stats$year, > ? ? ? ? ? ?lty = 1, ?data = rain.stats, ?type = c("l","l", "l"), col > c("red", "blue", "green"), distribute.type = TRUE, > ? ? ? ? ? ?main = "Annual Monthly Minimum, Average and Maximum PPT") > > > Each panel is labels with "rain.stats$year" ?instead of the actual value > referenced by this variable. > > the data.frame I'm using has the following form (year values range from > 1965 to 2000 and month from 1 to 12). > >> dim(rain.stats) >> 432 6 > >>rain.stats[1:10,] > ? year month X2 ? ?min ? ?max ? ? ? ave > 1 ?1965 ? ? 1 ?1 0.0000 1.9196 0.3650112 > 2 ?1966 ? ? 1 ?1 2.1483 4.9615 3.5247034 > 3 ?1967 ? ? 1 ?1 0.4038 3.9145 1.7133045 > 4 ?1968 ? ? 1 ?1 0.2033 3.2119 1.1844769 > 5 ?1969 ? ? 1 ?1 1.2533 5.6226 2.9505545 > 6 ?1970 ? ? 1 ?1 0.9142 3.8861 2.6248453 > 7 ?1971 ? ? 1 ?1 0.1191 1.6109 0.6570289 > 8 ?1972 ? ? 1 ?1 0.2309 2.9380 0.9259674 > 9 ?1973 ? ? 1 ?1 0.9471 3.6342 1.9019848 > 10 1974 ? ? 1 ?1 0.1739 9.0225 1.0672980 > > > The plot illustrates exactly what I'm after with the exception of the panel > labels. ?I'm following an example in the Lattice Book by Deepayan Sarkar > (which I find very informative ?- thanks), but I'm not getting the results > as per the example. > > Can anyone offer a solution? > > Thanks in advance. > > Steve > > > > > > > Steve Friedman Ph.

Try converting year to a factor xyplot(min + max + ave ~ month | factor(year), data = rain.stats, ...) Also, notice the inclusion of the "data" argument.

Converting rain.stats$year to a factor yields the results you seem to want:
xyplot(rain.stats$min+ rain.stats$max + rain.stats$ave ~
rain.stats$month |as.factor(rain.stats$year),
lty = 1, data = rain.stats, type = c("l","l",
"l"), col c("red", "blue", "green"),
distribute.type = TRUE,
main = "Annual Monthly Minimum, Average and Maximum PPT")
