trellis.object: A Trellis Plot Object

Description

This class of objects is returned by high level lattice display functions, and is usually plotted by default by its `print' method.

Arguments

Value

  • A trellis object, as returned by high level lattice functions like xyplot, is a list with the ``class'' attribute set to ``trellis''. Many of the components of this list are simply the arguments to the high level function that produced the object. Among them are: as.table, layout, page, panel, prepanel, main, sub, par.settings, par.strip.text, strip, skip, xlab and ylab. Some other typical components are:

    • index.cond
    { list with index for each of the conditioning variables }

  • perm.condpermutation of the order of the conditioning variables
  • aspect.filllogical, whether aspect is ``fill''
  • aspect.rationumeric, aspect ratio to be used if aspect.fill is FALSE
  • callcall that generated the object.
  • condlevelslist with levels of the conditioning variables
  • legendlist describing the legend(s) to be drawn
  • panel.argsa list as long as the number of panels, each element being a list itself, containing the arguments in named form to be passed to the panel function in that panel.
  • panel.args.commona list containing the arguments common to all the panel functions in name=value form
  • x.scaleslist describing x-scale, can consist of several other lists, paralleling panel.args, if x-relation is not ``same''
  • y.scaleslist describing y-scale, similar to x.scales
  • x.betweennumeric vector of interpanel x-space
  • y.betweennumeric vector of interpanel y-space
  • x.limitsnumeric vector of length 2 or list, giving x-axis limits
  • y.limitssimilar to x.limits
