[R] Palette color order in bwplot (lattice violin plot) vs. boxplot

Hello,
I am trying to give different colors to boxes in a violin plot obtained
via bwplot from lattice package using a color palette from RColorBrewer:
> require(RColorBrewer)
> MyPalette <- brewer.pal(6, "Set3")
A call to:
> boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = MyPalette)
yields the example boxplot with each box colored according to the
different colors from MyPalette. In addition, boxes are colored with the
same color order of MyPalette. See
> display.brewer.pal(6, "Set3")
However, when I do the same thing with a violin plot from the lattice
package
> require(lattice)
> bwplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays,
+ panel = function(..., box.ratio) {
+ panel.violin(..., col = "transparent",
+ varwidth = FALSE, box.ratio = box.ratio)
+ panel.bwplot(..., fill = MyPalette, box.ratio = .1)
+ } )
boxplots are colored with the right colors (each box has a different
color) but with a different color order -- too bad because I would like
to color code the plot according to certain pre-defined colors. Same
thing (wrong color order) with a simple bwplot:
> bwplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, fill = MyPalette)
Is there a way to get the right color (i.e. same order as in MyPalette)
in bwplot/panel.violin?
Kind regards,
Luigi
