[R] labeling panels in lattice plots

[Steve_Friedman at nps.gov]

I am using windows XP with R 2.8.1


I am generating a lattice plot of annual rain patterns using the following
function:


>  xyplot(rain.stats$min+ rain.stats$max + rain.stats$ave ~
rain.stats$month |rain.stats$year,
            lty = 1,  data = rain.stats,  type = c("l","l", "l"), col =
c("red", "blue", "green"), distribute.type = TRUE,
            main = "Annual Monthly Minimum, Average and Maximum PPT")


Each panel is labels with "rain.stats$year"  instead of the actual value
referenced by this variable.

the data.frame I'm using has the following form (year values range from
1965 to 2000 and month from 1 to 12).

> dim(rain.stats)
> 432 6

>rain.stats[1:10,]
   year month X2    min    max       ave
1  1965     1  1 0.0000 1.9196 0.3650112
2  1966     1  1 2.1483 4.9615 3.5247034
3  1967     1  1 0.4038 3.9145 1.7133045
4  1968     1  1 0.2033 3.2119 1.1844769
5  1969     1  1 1.2533 5.6226 2.9505545
6  1970     1  1 0.9142 3.8861 2.6248453
7  1971     1  1 0.1191 1.6109 0.6570289
8  1972     1  1 0.2309 2.9380 0.9259674
9  1973     1  1 0.9471 3.6342 1.9019848
10 1974     1  1 0.1739 9.0225 1.0672980


The plot illustrates exactly what I'm after with the exception of the panel
labels.  I'm following an example in the Lattice Book by Deepayan Sarkar
(which I find very informative  - thanks), but I'm not getting the results
as per the example.

Can anyone offer a solution?

Thanks in advance.
