Yes, canned features of lattice are not enough for this. Here's something that should work: with(sp.nc.bdrs.data, dotplot(sporder ~ cvarorder | direct, col.var = factor(mysign), cex.var = abs(mwZ), col = c('green', 'red'), panel = function(x, y, cex, col, cex.var, col.var, subscripts, ...) { panel.dotplot(x, y, col = col[col.var[subscripts]], cex = cex.var[subscripts] * 0.05, ...) })) Here's a version with the barley data (not a very good example, though): with(barley, dotplot(site ~ yield, col.var = factor(year), cex.var = yield, col = c('green', 'red'), panel = function(x, y, cex, col, cex.var, col.var, subscripts, ...) { panel.dotplot(x, y, col = col[col.var[subscripts]], cex = cex.var[subscripts] * 0.03, ...) })) Deepayan ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
