this function is used by high level Lattice functions like
xyplot to parse the formula argument and evaluate various
components of the data.
latticeParseFormula(model, data, dimension = 2,
subset = TRUE, groups = NULL,
multiple, outer,
subscripts,
drop)returns a list with several components, including left,
right, left.name, right.name, condition for 2-D, and left,
right.x, right.y, left.name, right.x.name, right.y.name, condition
for 3-D. Other possible components are groups, subscr
the model/formula to be parsed. This can be in either of two
possible forms, one for 2d and one for 3d formulas, determined by
the dimension argument. The 2d formulas are of the form
y ~ x| g1 * ... *gn, and the 3d formulas are of the form
z ~ x * y | g1 * ...* gn. In the first form, y may
be omitted. The conditioning variables g1, ...,gn can be
omitted in either case.

in xyplot, indicating whether unused levels of
conditioning factors and data variables that are factors are to be
dropped.
