Combine the panels of multiple trellis objects into one.
## S3 method for class 'trellis': c(..., x.same = FALSE, y.same = FALSE, recursive = FALSE)

two or more trellis objects. If these are named arguments, the names will be used in the corresponding panel strips. |
x.same |
if TRUE , fix the x scales to those in the
first object (as long as that has scales$relation = "same" ).
If FALSE , the default, the x scales in each panel
will be as they were in the original objects
(so in general not the same).
|
y.same |
as above, for y scales. |
recursive |
for consistency with the generic method, ignored. |
This mechanism attempts to merge the panels from multiple trellis
objects into one. The same effect could generally be achieved by
either a custom panel function (where the display depends on
packet.number()
), or using print.trellis
to display multiple trellis objects. However, in some cases it is more
convenient to use c()
. Furthermore, it can be useful to
maintain the display as a standard lattice display, rather than a
composite using print.trellis
, to simplify
further interaction.
Many properties of the display, such as titles, legends, axis settings and aspect ratio will be taken from the first object only.
Note that combining panels from different types of plots does not really fit the trellis model. Some features of the plot may not work as expected. In particular, some work may be needed to show or hide scales on selected panels. An example is given below.
Any trellis object with more than one conditioning variable will be "flattened" to one dimension, eliminating the multi-variate conditioning structure.
a new trellis object.
