[R] xyplot and autokey, maintaining colors specified via "col" in key

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Don't know what you did regarding par.settings to not get the desired
result but that is, in fact, the way to go since both the key and the plot
lines will get their colors from that:

xyplot(outcome ~ time, dat.ex, groups=drug, type=c("g", "smooth"),
auto.key = list(space = "top",  text = levels(dat.ex$drug),
points=FALSE, lines=TRUE ),
par.settings = list(superpose.line = list(col = rainbow(3))))
