lattice
Trellis graphics is a framework for data visualization developed at Bell Labs by Richard Becker, William Cleveland, et al., extending ideas presented in Bill Cleveland’s 1993 book Visualizing Data.
lattice is best thought of as an
implementation of Trellis graphics for R. It is built upon the grid
graphics engine and requires the grid add-on package. It is not (readily)
compatible with traditional R graphics tools. The public interface is
based on the implementation in S-PLUS but features several extensions, in
addition to incompatibilities introduced through the use of grid. To the
extent possible, care has been taken to ensure that existing Trellis code
written for S-PLUS works unchanged (or with minimal change) in lattice. If you are having problems porting
S-PLUS code, read the entry for panel in the documentation for xyplot. Most high-level Trellis functions in
S-PLUS are implemented, with the exception of piechart.
Functions
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Rows | Convenience function to extract a subset of a list. Usually used in creating keys. |
| as.shingle, as.factorOrShingle | Functions to handle shingles. |

| banking | Calculates banking slope. |
| barchart | Draws bar charts. |
| bwplot | Draws box plots. |
| canonical.theme | Initialization of a display device with appropriate graphical parameters. |
| cloud | Generic function to draw 3D scatter plots and surfaces.
The "formula" methods do most
of the actual work. |
| col.whitebg | Initialization of a display device with ... |
