make.groups {lattice} | R Documentation

## Grouped data from multiple vectors

### Description

Combines two or more vectors, possibly of different lengths, producing a data frame with a second column indicating which of these vectors that row came from. This is mostly useful for getting data into a form suitable for use in high level Lattice functions.

### Usage

    make.groups(...)

### Arguments

`...` | one or more vectors of the same type (coercion is attempted if not), or one or more data frames with similar columns, with possibly differing number of rows.

### Value

When all the input arguments are vectors, a data frame with two columns

``data`` | all the vectors supplied, concatenated
``which`` | factor indicating which vector the corresponding `data` value came from

When all the input arguments are data frames, the result of `cbind` applied to them, along with an additional `which` column as described above.

                    normal = rnorm(125))
    qqmath( ~ data | which, sim.dat, scales = list(y = "free"))
