labeling panels in lattice plots

I am using windows XP with R 2.8.1

I am generating a lattice plot of annual rain patterns using the following
function:
 xyplot(rain.stats$min+ rain.stats$max + rain.stats$ave ~
rain.stats$month |rain.stats$year,
            lty = 1,  data = rain.stats,  type = c("l","l", "l"), col =
c("red", "blue", "green"), distribute.type = TRUE,
            main = "Annual Monthly Minimum, Average and Maximum PPT")

Each panel is labels with "rain.stats$year"  instead of the actual value
referenced by this variable.

the data.frame I'm using has the following form (year values range from
1965 to 2000 and month from 1 to 12).
dim(rain.stats)
432 6
rain.stats[1:10,]
year month X2    min    max       ave
1  1965     1  1 0.0000 1.9196 0.3650112
2  1966     1  1 2.1483 4.9615 3.5247034
3  1967     1  1 0.4038 3.9145 1.7133045
4  1968     1  1 0.2033 3.2119 1.1844769
5  1969     1  1 1.2533 5.6226 2.9505545
6  1970     1  1 0.9142 3.8861 2.6248453
7  1971     1  1 0.1191 1.6109 0.6570289
8  1972     1  1 0.2309 2.9380 0.9259674
9  1973     1  1 0.9471 3.6342 1.9019848
10 1974     1  1 0.1739 9.0225 1.0672980

The plot illustrates exactly what I'm after with the exception of the panel
labels.  I'm following an example in the Lattice Book by Deepayan Sarkar
(which I find very informative  - thanks), but I'm not getting the results
as per the example.

Can anyone offer a solution?

Thanks in advance.

would you mind creating a dummy data.frame or maybe dput() a smaller
subset of the data frame?
thanks

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.

Try converting year to a factor

xyplot(min + max + ave ~ month | factor(year), data = rain.stats, ...)

Also, notice the inclusion of the "data" argument.

Sundar,

Your suggestion to convert year to a factor worked like a charm.

Converting rain.stats$year to a factor yields the results you seem to want:

xyplot(rain.stats$min+ rain.stats$max + rain.stats$ave ~
rain.stats$month |as.factor(rain.stats$year),
           lty = 1,  data = rain.stats,  type = c("l","l", "l"), col =
c("red", "blue", "green"), distribute.type = TRUE,
           main = "Annual Monthly Minimum, Average and Maximum PPT")
