[R] xyplot: problems with column names & legend

[Peter Ehlers]

Jay,

I don't recall the details of your original post so the
following may be entirely off the mark; nevertheless, here
goes:

thetext <- paste('Data', 1:8)
# or: thetext <- paste('Data', c('one', 'two', 'three', <etc>))
xyplot(decrease ~ treatment, OrchardSprays, groups = rowpos,
        type = "a",
        auto.key =
           list(text= thetext,
              space = "right",
             points = FALSE,
              lines = TRUE))
