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 ... |
