[R] Question on xyplot

[Duncan Mackay]

Hi

I missed the original posting

I think to get the full picture we need to a reproducible example eg by dput
of the data. 

To keep all the information about a plot you can use the par.settings
argument which is an alternative to trellis.par.set().
Try names(trellis.par.get()) to get a list of all the arguments
Or for an individual one
trellis.par.get()$superpose.line # or
trellis.par.get()[[21]] 

The legend colours lines and symbols are controlled by superpose.symbol,
superpose.line and superpose.polygon so setting these can fix things.

Eg
par.settings = list(superpose.line = list(lty = 0:7, col = 1:8, lwd = 10)),

The other alternative is to use the key argument eg

key=list(text =list(...),
               lines=list(lty = 0:7, col = 1:8, lwd = 10),
               points = list(...)),   

I frequently put everything in par.settings when I have a simple panel
function eg 

panel = function(x,y,...){
panel.abline(...)
xyplot(x, y, ...)

}

or when the panel function is not required.

you didn't show us the code you used to generate the legend.
I'm guessing you want to add to the legend list something like "lty=0:7" .
