Dear friends - I have a dataset of 40 patients in two groups observed on three occasions. I only want to plot a line for each patient in the two groups. I use the ltext function to put the patient number but fail to make lattice understand the numbers as unique since apparently it starts all over with 1:20 for each panel instead of respecting my desires to have 1:20 and then 21:40. I'm on windows vista, R2.9.2 Best wishes Troels score <- runif(120,0,100) pt <- gl(40,3,120) times <- rep(c(0,3,6),40) trt <- gl(2,60,120) ach <- data.frame(score=score,pt=pt,times=times,trt=trt) library(lattice) myPanel <- function(x,y,...){ panel.xyplot(x,y,...) ltext(x-.1,y+1,paste(pt),cex=0.5) } xyplot(score~times|trt,groups=pt,type=c("p","l"),ach, panel=myPanel) -- Troels Ring Department of nephrology Aalborg Hospital M?lleparkvej phone: +4599326629 Heliosvej 12 9210 Aalborg S? 98140582 30480176
