[R] helps on levelplot

[Yan Wang]

Thank you for the hints! I have some followup questions.

About the panel function, here is the code I copied from the example:
      xyplot(NOx ~ C | EE, data = ethanol,
             prepanel = function(x, y) prepanel.loess(x, y, span = 1),
             xlab = "Compression Ratio", ylab = "NOx (micrograms/J)",
             panel = function(x, y) {
                 panel.grid(h=-1, v= 2)
                 panel.xyplot(x, y)
                 panel.loess(x,y, span=1)
             },
             aspect = "xy")

My question is what is the relation between the xyplot function and 
panel.xyplot(x,y). In my case, I found that in the panel function, if I 
only have panel.abline(), the levelplot wouldn't be drawn at all. But I 
don't know how to specify the arguments in panel.levelplot(), which is 
exactly the part that you used "..." in your last reply. For all sorts 
of possible ways I tried, I got various of errors.

About the label size for the colorkey, when I coded as you suggested:
levelplot(z~x*y, grid,at=seq(0,1,by=0.1),scales=list(cex=2),
	colorkey=list(labels=list(cex=2, at=seq(0,1,by=0.1))))

I got error "Error in draw.colorkey(x$colorkey) : invalid type/length 
(3/1) in vector allocation". In fact, for whatever "at" I specified in 
labels, I got the same error message.

Further help is greatly appreciated.
