[R] xyplot help

[Bert Gunter]

Read the "panel" part of ?xyplot carefully and note ?panel.superpose.
Typically, when you have a groups argument your panel function must be of
the form 

panel = function(x,y,...){
	panel.superpose(x,y,...)
	etc.
}

However, I think it might all happen automagically if you do the call as:

xyplot(y~x,groups=type,plotdata, type = "b", auto.key=T)

This is also referenced in the "panel" section of the xyplot help, where you
are referred to ?panel.xyplot for info on the type argument.

So, in brief, read the docs more carefully.
