[R] superimposing different plot types in lattice panel.superpose

Hi:

Here's one way out, if I read your intention properly...

plot1 <- xyplot(y ~ x, data = modelresults, groups = model, type = 'l',
                        xlim = c(0, 10), ylim = c(0.5, 3.5))
plot2 <- xyplot(y ~ x, data = data, groups = model, type = 'p',
                        pch = 16, xlim = c(0, 10), ylim = c(0.5, 3.5))
plot1 + plot2

You might need latticeExtra to combine the plots (??); I had it loaded
with lattice when I did the plot.

HTH,
Dennis
