[R] subset inside a lattice plot using panel.lines

[Mark Difford]

Hi Michael,

I can't quite see what you are trying to do [and I am not sure that you
clearly state it], but you could make things easier and simpler by (1)
creating a factor to identify your groups of rows more cleanly and (2) by
using the groups= argument in lattice.

## Something along these lines
copyDat <- originalDat
copyDat$newFac <- gl(2, 387, 774, labels=c("A","B"))

xyplot(response ~ predictor|maybe.condition, data=copyDat, groups=newFac)

I hope this gives you some ideas.

Mark.
