Hi, I would like to create a trellis plot (3x2) of 6 individual box plots. It would look like this: (Created semi-manually) <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4647878/Figure8.jpg> What would be the most elegant way to do this?

You mention trellis, so I will assume that you already know about the trellis graphics functions (in the lattice package). If you are creating all the plots from a single dataset using conditioning then you can just use the 'layout' argument to specify the 3x2 arrangement (note that this argument does col X row rather than row X col like pretty much everything else). If you are calling the bwplot function 6 times and want to arrange them all on the same page then look at the print.trellis function.

I'm not sure it is "the most elegant" way but you can do this with
ggplot2
You may have to install it, (install.packages("ggplot2")
A very basis example:
library(ggplot2)
mydata <- data.frame(aa = rep(letters[1:6], each = 11), bb = rep(
c("x", "y"), 11),
cc <- rnorm(66))
p <- ggplot(mydata , aes( bb, cc ))+ geom_boxplot() +
facet_wrap( ~ aa )
p
Setting up the overall plot with titles, etc., can take a bit of time and
head-pounding, but if you are doing a lot of graphs ggplot2 is a very useful
tool to learn.
