lattice: packet.number() versus panel.number()

Hi,

According to
https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/lattice/R/print.trellis.R,

    "[panel.number] is usually the same as, but can be different from
packet.number"

and I had been under the impression that as long as the user is not
using a custom index.cond nor perm.cond, the panel.number would in fact
be the same as the packet.number.

However, I have recently come across a case where the two are *not* the
same, even though I am not using a custom index.cond nor perm.cond.

So my question is, what might be some other possible situations in which
the two would be expected to differ?

Regards,
Ben

The immediate hypothesis that leaps to mind is cases where there are multiple pages. On each page I suspect the upper left numbering restarts with 1, but I suspect the packet numbers are sequential increasing.

Thanks David. It turns out that I was in fact using a custom index.perm,
but not on purpose. What happened was I used the "[" method on the
trellis object ( lattice:::`[.trellis`), which of course is nothing but
a short-cut for updating the index.perm. Lesson learned...
