Hi I'm doing a xyplot and I wand to reduce the number of tick marks in the x axis. My x axis are month and I want to reduce the 12 tick marks to 4. I used the scales argument but it doesn't seem to work, althougth it works on y axis if I use scales=list(tick.number=4).
By 'month', so you mean a POSIXct object ? lattice is not very good with
those.
The other possibility is that your mes is a factor (or a character vector,
which is essentially the same). In that case, tick.number will have no effect
(it works only for numeric). You could do something like
xlim = c('Jan', '', '', 'Apr', '', '', 'Jul', '', '', 'Oct', '', '')
xyplot(land~mes|porto+arte,data=hom.land.mpa[hom.land.mpa$arte!="pseine",], type="l",scales=list(x=list(tick.number=4))) Regards EJ
