Hi All,

I am plotting vertical lines using xyplot in lattice and type="h".
It works well, but the problem is that the tops of the lines are convex and the 
bottoms are concave.
Is there a way to flatten the tops and bottoms?

You want to control the graphical parameter called "lineend", but I don't think this is generally made available via trellis.par.set(). Also, trying to set a default value via the 'grid.pars' argument, or via a viewport with the 'draw.in' argument doesn't appear to work in this case (the lineend may be hard coded in the internal code somewhere). The following code (to be run AFTER your code) does the trick for your example ...

library(grid)
grid.gedit("segments", gp=gpar(lineend="butt"), grep=TRUE)

... though I believe this will also make the ends of the tick marks on the axes square (not obvious to the naked eye at the default size).

Here's my code:

Source<-matrix(1:30,10,3)
colnames(Source)<-c("x","y1","y2")
Source<-data.frame(Source)

xyplot(y2+y1~x,
        data=Source,
        distribute.type=TRUE,
        type=c("h","h"),
        col=c("black","white"),
         lwd=20)
graphics.off()

Thanks.
