strip.default: Default Trellis Strip Function

Description

strip.default is the function that draws the strips by default in Trellis plots. Users can write their own strip functions, but most commonly this involves calling strip.default with a slightly different arguments. strip.custom provides a convenient way to obtain new strip functions that differ from strip.default only in the default values of certain arguments.

Usage

strip.default(which.given,
              which.panel,
              packet.number,
              panel.number,
              var.name,
              factor.levels,
              shingle.intervals,
              strip.names = c(FALSE, TRUE),
              strip.levels = c(TRUE, FALSE),
              sep = " : ",
              style = 1,
              horizontal = TRUE,
              bg = trellis.par.get("strip.background")$col[which.given],
              fg = trellis.par.get("strip.shingle")$col[which.given],
              par.strip.text = trellis.par.get("add.text"))
strip.custom(...)

Arguments

Value

strip.default is called for its side-effect, which is to draw a strip appropriate for multi-panel Trellis conditioning plots. strip.custom returns a function that is similar to strip.default, but with different defaults for the arguments specified in the call.

Details

default strip function for trellis functions. Useful mostly because of the style argument --- non-default styles are often more informative, especially when the names of the levels of the factor x are small. Traditional use is as strip = function(...) strip.default(style=2,...), though this can be simplified by the use of strip.custom.

Examples

Run this code

## Traditional use
xyplot(Petal.Length ~ Petal.Width | Species, iris,
       strip = function(..., style) strip.default(..., style = 4))

## equivalent call using strip.custom
xyplot(Petal.Length ~ Petal.Width | Species, iris,
       strip = strip.custom(style = 4))

xyplot(Petal.Length ~ Petal.Width | Species, iris,
       strip = FALSE,
       strip.left = strip.custom(style = 4, horizontal = FALSE))
