\HeaderA{panel.smoothScatter}{Lattice panel function analogous to smoothScatter}{panel.smoothScatter}
\keyword{hplot}{panel.smoothScatter}
\begin{Description}\relax
This function allows the user to place \code{smoothScatter} plots into
lattice graphics.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
panel.smoothScatter(x, y = NULL,
                    nbin = 64, cuts = 255,
                    bandwidth,
                    colramp =
                    colorRampPalette(c("white", brewer.pal(9, "Blues"))),
                    nrpoints = 100,
                    transformation = function(x) x^0.25,
                    pch = ".",
                    cex = 1,
                    ...,
                    subscripts)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{x}] Numeric vector containing x-values or n by 2 matrix containing x
and y values.
\item[\code{y}] Numeric vector containing y-values (optional). The length of \code{x}
must be the same as that of \code{y}.
\item[\code{nbin}] Numeric vector of length 1 (for both directions) or
2 (for x and y separately) containing the number of equally spaced
grid points for the density estimation.
\item[\code{cuts}] number of cuts defining the color gradient 
\item[\code{bandwidth}] Numeric vector: the smoothing bandwidth.  If missing,
these functions come up with a more or less useful guess.  This
parameter then gets passed on to the function
\code{\LinkA{bkde2D}{bkde2D}}.
\item[\code{colramp}] Function accepting an integer \code{n} as an argument and
returning \code{n} colors.
\item[\code{nrpoints}] Numeric vector of length 1 giving number of points to
be superimposed on the density image. The first \code{nrpoints} points
from those areas of lowest regional densities will be plotted. Adding
points to the plot allows for the identification of outliers.
If all points are to be plotted, choose \code{nrpoints = Inf}.
\item[\code{transformation}] Function that maps the density scale to the color scale.
\item[\code{pch, cex}] graphical parameters for the \code{nrpoints}
\dQuote{outlying} points shown in the display 
\item[\code{...}] Further arguments that are passed on to
\code{\LinkA{panel.levelplot}{panel.levelplot}}.
\item[\code{subscripts}] ignored, but necessary for handling of \dots in
certain situations.  Likely to be removed in future. 
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
This replicates the display part of the \code{\LinkA{smoothScatter}{smoothScatter}}
function by replacing standard graphics calls by grid-compatible ones.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
The function is called for its side effects, namely the production
of the appropriate plots on a graphics device.
