[R] lattice graph with free scales and reversed axis values

[P Tennant]

Hi Naresh,

You could calculate the ranges explicitly and then supply to scales():

holdRange <- vector('list', length(unique(my.df$name)))
for(i in 1:length(holdRange)){
     holdRange[[i]] <- 
rev(range(my.df$x[my.df$name==unique(my.df$name)[i]]))
     }

holdRange

# [[1]]
# [1] -5.052890 -9.967671

# [[2]]
# [1]  2.648870 -2.629866

xyplot(y ~ x | name, data = my.df,
     type = c("p", "g"),
     scales = list(relation="free", limits=holdRange))
