Dear Group: I want to use lattice with a formula such as y ~ x | v to plot a data frame in which v varies to indicate which "x" is really being plotted. I know how to make the x-axis scales vary with the panel but is it possible to let the x-axis label vary, i.e., to let the user specify a vector of x-axis labels? Thanks Frank

'xlab' can be a vector, but this is mostly useful for column-specific
(not panel-specific) labels; e.g.,
densityplot(~Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width, data = iris,
groups = Species, strip = FALSE, layout = c(2, 1),
xlab = c("Sepal.Length", "Sepal.Width"))
Does that help? Otherwise using strips as Duncan suggested is the only
simple solution.

Thanks very much Deepayan and Duncan. Both of your suggestions are very helpful and should do what I need. Frank
