Question
Er, just keep it simple, Marc... give one option: library(lattice) If you _ever_ use require() without acting upon the return value then you are setting yourself or someone else up for confusing missing objects errors someday for no good reason. This _isn't_ just personal preference... by choosing to use the require function you are taking responsibility for the case where that package is missing, and by ignoring the return value you are immediately abdicating that responsibility. Let the error appear where it makes sense by using the library function in the first place.

Guys, lattice is a "recommended" package, which means that it is installed by default with any standard R installation. Thus, all that is required, as Sarah noted in an earlier reply, is either: library(lattice) or require(lattice) depending upon preference. latticeExtra, on the other hand, is a third party package that would need to be installed separately, if desired.

Indeed when I what to install some function like bwplot, boxplot,
xyplot
I
receive this sort of messages: Warning in install.packages :

?xyplot? is not available (for R version 3.5.2) Do you know how I

solve that?
Yep. Those plots are part of the lattice package. You can install lattice (and latticeExtra if you want) with
installpkg("lattice")
Happy plotting, Rich
