help change auto.key colors in xyplot

Dear lettice gurus,
the code below works just fine to produce a dotplot. However, I am not
successful changing the color of the lines in the legend (auto.key).
If I add col=..., it only changes the color of the letters in the
legend, but not the color of the lines.
Really appreciate any advice on that!
Dimitri

d=data.frame(xx=c(2.2,2.1,3.3),yy=c(0.1,0.2,0.3),zz=c(2.5,2.0,1.8))
d[[2]]<-as.factor(d[[2]])
dotplot(c(d[[1]],d[[3]])~rep(d[[2]],2),groups=rep(c("Group 1","Group
2"),each=nrow(d)),main=list("Chart Title",cex=1),
    xlab=list("Title for X",cex=.9,font=2),
    ylab=list("Title for Y",cex=.9,font=2),
    auto.key = list(space = "top", points = T, lines = T,cex=.9),
    panel = function(y,x,...){
			panel.grid(h = -1, v = -1, col = "gray", lty ="dotted", ltx="dotted")
      panel.superpose(x,y,..., type="b",col.line=c("blue","red"),pch=20,cex=1.3,
      col=c("blue","red"),bg=c("blue","red"),lwd=2)
      ltext(x, y, labels=round(y,3),
cex=.8,col="black",font=2,adj=c(-0.2,1)) # adds labels to those
circles # pos=2,
      panel.abline(h=0)
	}
)

I prefer to set pch and friends outside the panel function to 
avoid clutter, and to set the parameters globally, thus forcing
my plots to be similar. This is a matter of taste, though.

On Windows, the key looks a bit ugly now.

Group 1 o ----
Group
2       o-----  

I am not very happy that the lwd is not honored by the key.
Lines in lwd 2 (plot) and in lwd 1 (default key) do have a quite
different subjective color hue. Any way around this, Deepayan?

(Besides using ggplot2, as Hadley would argue ??)

For the typical situation where you want the same colors for lines and
points, I find the

  par.settings = simpleTheme(col=..., lwd=...)

construct very useful. Also note the slightly different key:

dotplot(c(d[[1]],d[[3]])~rep(d[[2]],2),
        groups=rep(c("Group 1","Group 2"), each=nrow(d)),
        main=list("Chart Title",cex=1),
        type="b",

        par.settings = simpleTheme(col=c("blue","red"),
                                   pch=20, cex=1.3, lwd=2),
        auto.key = list(space = "top", points = FALSE,
                        lines = TRUE, type = "b"),

        xlab=list("Title for X",cex=.9,font=2),
        ylab=list("Title for Y",cex=.9,font=2),
        panel = function(y,x,...) {
            panel.grid(h = -1, v = -1,
                       col = "gray", lty ="dotted")
            panel.superpose(x,y,... )
            ltext(x, y, labels=round(y,3),cex=.8,col="black",font=2,
                  adj=c(-0.2,1))
        })

For different colors for lines and points, you do need to be more
verbose, and change the line and symbol settings separately:


trellis.par.set(superpose.line = list(col=c("blue","red"), lwd = 2),
                superpose.symbol = list(cex = 1.3, pch = 20),
                reference.line = list(col = "gray", lty ="dotted"))


dotplot(c(d[[1]],d[[3]])~rep(d[[2]],2),
        groups=rep(c("Group 1","Group 2"), each=nrow(d)),
        main=list("Chart Title",cex=1),
        type="b",
        auto.key = list(space = "top", points = TRUE, lines = TRUE),
        xlab=list("Title for X",cex=.9,font=2),
        ylab=list("Title for Y",cex=.9,font=2),
        panel = function(y,x,...) {
            panel.grid(h = -1, v = -1)
            panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
            ltext(x, y, labels=round(y,3),
                  cex=.8,col="black",font=2,
                  adj=c(-0.2,1))
        })

And here is a ggplot2 solution ;)

df <- data.frame(
  x = rep(d[[2]], 2),
  y = c(d[[1]], d[[3]]),
  group = rep(c("Group 1", "Group 2"), each = 3)
)

ggplot(df, aes(x, y, group = group)) +
  geom_point(aes(colour = group), size = 3) +
  geom_line(aes(colour = group), size = 1.5) +
  geom_text(aes(label = y, y = y + 0.02), vjust = 0, size = 4)

The legends are pretty good at figuring out exactly what should be
displayed, based on what you've used in the graphic.
