In case you decide to work on this yourself, this might be useful: Ideally, specifications like xyplot(depth ~ x, ylim = c(10, 0)) should reverse the y-axis direction. As pointed out some time back, this doesn't work in lattice currently, but that should be fixed in the future (it already works in my development version). > That convention has implications not just in how axes are labeled and set > up, but also when using smoothing routines such as panel.lowess(), because > the smoothed values are on the horizontal axis, not the vertical axis. These should be easy to modify.
