[R] Plotting text with lattice

[Gabor Grothendieck]

This requires R 2.4.0.  Its the same as my earlier example except
the labels= arg has been changed to labels=which.packet().


xyplot(x ~ x | g, data = data.frame(x = 1:12), panel = function(...) {
       panel.xyplot(...)
       panel.text(x=2, y=4, labels=which.packet())

})
