[R] panel function with barchart (lattice)

Folks at R help,
I can't quite get the panel function to work the way I
want within barchart.
I guess I'm still not understanding how to piece
together multiple panel
arguments, especially when "groups" is specified.
Example: I want to be able to add the value of "yield"
to each section of
each bar in this graph:
barchart(yield ~ variety | site, data = barley,
groups = year,
layout = c(1,6),
stack=TRUE,
ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)"
)
To do this, I add my panel function:
barchart(yield ~ variety | site, data = barley,
groups = year,
layout = c(1,6),
stack=TRUE,
ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)",
panel = function(x,y,subscripts,groups,...){
panel.barchart(x,y,...)
ltext(x = x, y = y, label =
round(barley$yield[subscripts],1), cex=.8)
}
)
Then I get the values to print on each bar (which is
what I want) but the
bars no longer stack to appropriate height, and I
cannot get the subsections
of each bar to be a different color. I've tried
numerous variations of
panel.barchart, panel.superpose, etc. using examples
from ?xyplot, but
nothing quite works or I get an error message.
Any help would be appreciated.
