[R] lattice: adding text to plots

Could you explain what "does not work" means.  It seems to produce a
graph with x-y numbers on it in R 2.4.0 on Windows.

At any rate, I would have done it like this although I think you can
leave off the [1] on subscripts and it will still work.

library(lattice)
library(grid)
xyplot(y1 + y2 ~ x | g * h, data = DF, type = "l",
   panel = function(x, y, subscripts, groups, ...) {
      panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
      grid.text(DF$f[subscripts[1]], .1, .9)
})
