Hello,

I would be very grateful if anyone could help with what seems like a simple lattice task. I want to use xyplot, where the symbols for the plotted points are taken from another column in the data frame. So if the data frame looked like:

a <- as.data.frame(matrix(data=c(1,1,10,2,2,20,3,3,30), nrow=3, ncol=3, 
byrow=TRUE))
a

  V1 V2 V3
1  1  1 10
2  2  2 20
3  3  3 30

you would get an xy scatter plot using where "10" (not a dot) is at coordinate 1,1, "20" is at 2,2, and so on.

I have made two attempts. The first, below, almost works, but only takes the first character from the V3 column:

library(lattice)
xyplot(V1~V2, data=a, pch=as.character(a$V3))

I've also tried this example, which is given in an online user guide for trellis. It uses the built-in "ethanol" data set (which is also in lattice), and subscripts... but when I try the same code in lattice, I get an "invalid graphics state" error.

library(lattice)
xyplot(NOx ~ E | C, data = ethanol, aspect = 1/2,
       panel = function(x, y, subscripts)
         text(x, y, subscripts, cex = .75)
)


Thank you very much in advance!

Owen Solberg
