\description{
  The \code{print} and \code{plot} methods produce a graph from a
  \code{"trellis"} object.  The \code{print} method is necessary for
  automatic plotting.  \code{plot} method is essentially
  an alias, provided for convenience.  The \code{summary} method
  gives a textual summary of the object.  \code{dim} and \code{dimnames}
  describe the cross-tabulation induced by conditioning.
  \code{panel.error} is the default handler used when an error occurs
  while executing the panel function.
}


\arguments{
  \item{x, object}{ an object of class \code{"trellis"}}
  \item{position}{ a vector of 4 numbers, typically c(xmin, ymin, xmax,
    ymax) that give the lower-left and upper-right corners of a
    rectangle in which the Trellis plot of x is to be positioned. The
    coordinate system for this rectangle is [0-1] in both the x and y
    directions.
  }
  \item{split}{ a vector of 4 integers, c(x,y,nx,ny) , that says to
    position the current plot at the x,y position in a regular array of
    nx by ny plots. (Note: this has origin at top left)
  }
  \item{more}{ A logical specifying whether more plots will follow on
    this page.
  }
  \item{newpage}{ A logical specifying whether the plot should be on a
    new page. This option is specific to lattice, and is useful for
    including lattice plots in an arbitrary grid viewport (see the
    details section).
  }
  \item{packet.panel}{ a function that determines which packet (data
    subset) is plotted in which panel.  Panels are always drawn in an
    order such that columns vary the fastest, then rows and then pages.
    This function determines, given the column, row and page and other
    relevant information, the packet (if any) which should be used in
    that panel.  By default, the association is determnined by matching
    panel order with packet order, which is determined by varying the
    first conditioning variable the fastest, then the second, and so
    on.  This association rule is encoded in the default, namely the
    function \code{\link{packet.panel.default}}, whose help page details
    the arguments supplied to whichever function is specified as the
    \code{packet.panel} argument.
  }
  \item{draw.in}{
    An optional (grid) viewport (used as the \code{name} argument in
    \code{downViewport}) in which the plot is to be drawn.  If
    specified, the \code{newpage} argument is ignored.  This feature is
    not well-tested.
  }
  \item{panel.width, panel.height}{
    lists with 2 components, that should be valid \code{x} and
    \code{units} arguments to \code{unit()} (the \code{data} argument
    cannot be specified currently, but can be considered for addition if
    needed).  The resulting \code{unit} object will be the width/height
    of each panel in the Lattice plot. These arguments can be used to
    explicitly control the dimensions of the panel, rather than letting
    them expand to maximize available space.  Vector widths are allowed,
    and can specify unequal lengths across rows or columns.

    Note that this option should not be used in conjunction with
    non-default values of the \code{aspect} argument in the original
    high level call (no error will be produced, but the resulting
    behaviour is undefined).
  }
  \item{save.object}{
    logical, specifying whether the object being printed is to be
    saved.  The last object thus saved can be subsequently retrieved.
    This is an experimental feature that should allow access to a
    panel's data after the plot is done, making it possible to enhance
    the plot after the fact.  This also allows the user to invoke the
    \code{update} method on the current plot, even if it was not
    assigned to a variable explicitly.  For more details, see
    \code{\link{trellis.focus}}.
  }
  \item{panel.error}{
    a function, or a character string naming a function, that is to be
    executed when an error occurs during the execution of the panel
    function.  The error is caught (using \code{\link{tryCatch}}) and
    supplied as the only argument to \code{panel.error}.  The default
    behaviour (implemented as the \code{panel.error} function) is to
    print the corresponding error message in the panel and continue.  To
    stop execution on error, use \code{panel.error = stop}.

    Normal error recovery and debugging tools are unhelpful when
    \code{tryCatch} is used.  \code{tryCatch} can be completely bypassed
    by setting \code{panel.error} to NULL.
  }
  \item{prefix}{
    A character string acting as a prefix identifying the plot of a
    \code{"trellis"} object, primarily used in constructing viewport and
    grob names, to distinguish similar viewports if a page contains
    multiple plots.  The default is based on the serial number of the
    current plot on the current page (specifically, \code{"plot_01"},
    \code{"plot_02"}, etc.).  If supplied explicitly, this must be a
    valid \R symbol name (briefly, it must start with a letter or a
    period followed by a letter) and must not contain the grid path
    separator (currently \code{"::"}).
  }
  \item{e}{ an error condition caught by \code{\link{tryCatch}}}
  \item{\dots}{
    extra arguments, ignored by the \code{print} method.  All arguments
    to the \code{plot} method are passed on to the \code{print} method.
  }
}

\details{
  This is the default print method for objects of class
  \code{"trellis"}, produced by calls to functions like \code{xyplot},
  \code{bwplot} etc. It is usually called automatically when a trellis
  object is produced. It can also be called explicitly to control plot
  positioning by means of the arguments \code{split} and
  \code{position}.

  When \code{newpage = FALSE}, the current grid viewport is treated as
  the plotting area, making it possible to embed a Lattice plot inside
  an arbitrary grid viewport.  The \code{draw.in} argument provides an
  alternative mechanism that may be simpler to use.

  The print method uses the information in \code{x} (the object to be
  printed) to produce a display using the Grid graphics engine. At the
  heart of the plot is a grid layout, of which the entries of most
  interest to the user are the ones containing the display panels.

  Unlike in older versions of Lattice (and Grid), the grid display tree
  is retained after the plot is produced, making it possible to access
  individual viewport locations and make additions to the plot.  For
  more details and a lattice level interface to these viewports, see
  \code{\link{trellis.focus}}.

}

\note{
  Unlike S-PLUS, trying to position a multipage display (using
  \code{position} and/or \code{split}) will mess things up.

p11 <- histogram( ~ height | voice.part, data = singer, xlab="Height")
p12 <- densityplot( ~ height | voice.part, data = singer, xlab = "Height")
p2 <- histogram( ~ height, data = singer, xlab = "Height")


## simple positioning by split
print(p11, split=c(1,1,1,2), more=TRUE)
print(p2, split=c(1,2,1,2))

## Combining split and position:
print(p11, position = c(0,0,.75,.75), split=c(1,1,1,2), more=TRUE)
print(p12, position = c(0,0,.75,.75), split=c(1,2,1,2), more=TRUE)
print(p2, position = c(.5,.75,1,1), more=FALSE)
