     Update method for objects of class ``trellis''

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'trellis':
     update(object, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: The object to be updated, of class ``trellis''. 

     ...: arguments that will be used to update 'object'. See details
          below.  

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     All the high level lattice functions such as 'xyplot' produce an
     object of (S3) class ``trellis'', which is usually printed by its
     'print' method. However, the object itself can be manipulated and
     modified to a large extent using the 'update' method, and then
     re-plotted as needed.

     Most arguments to high level functions can also be supplied to the
     'update' method as well, with some exceptions. Generally speaking,
     anything that would needs to change the data within each panel is
     a no-no (this includes the 'formula, data, groups, subscripts' and
     'subset'). Everything else is technically game, though might not
     be implemented yet. If you find something missing that you wish to
     have, feel free to make a request.

     Not all arguments accepted by a Lattice function are processed by
     'update', but the following should work (they are described in the
     help page for 'xyplot'):

     'panel', 'aspect', 'as.table', 'between', 'key', 'auto.key',
     'legend', 'layout', 'main', 'page', 'par.strip.text', 'prepanel',
     'scales', 'skip', 'strip', 'sub', 'xlab', 'xlim', 'ylab', 'ylim',
     'par.settings', 'index.cond', 'perm.cond'

     Any other argument is added to the list of arguments to be passed
     to the 'panel' function. Because of their somewhat special nature,
     updates to objects produced by 'cloud' and 'wireframe' do not work
     very well yet.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An object of class 'trellis', by default plotted by
     'print.trellis'.
