[R] lattice, xyplot, using "panel.segments" by just addressing one panel

[Peter Ehlers]

Doris,

You might get lucky and find some kind soul who's willing to
dig through your *un*reproducible code, but your chances for
help would probably increase dramatically if you were to
provide *reproducible* and *minimal* code to illustrate your
problem. I imagine that you might benefit from reading the
posting guide.

It may be that trellis.focus() solves your problem.
