Hi, Using backticks might work to some extent,
library(lattice) `my variable` = 1:10 y=rnorm(10) xyplot(`my variable` ~ y) but if your data is in a data.frame the names should have been converted, make.names('my variable') [1] "my.variable" HTH, baptiste 2010/1/3 Jay <josip.2...@gmail.com>: > Hello! > > one more question about xyplot.
