I think the most natural way to do this would be to change the labels of
the factor levels directly. If you don't want to do this to your
original data, you can do it on the fly as follows:


relabel <- function(x, labels)
{
  stopifnot(is.factor(x))
  levels(x) <- labels
  x
}

y <- rnorm(100)
x <- gl(3, 1, 100)
g <- gl(2, 1, 100)

bwplot(y ~ relabel(x, c("Mleto", "Mleto a s��tov��no", "Nemleto")) |
    relabel(g, c("Povrchov�� ��prava", "Bez PU")))


Of course, you can also do it your way:

bwplot(y ~ x | g,
    xlim = c("Mleto", "Mleto a s��tov��no", "Nemleto"),
    strip = strip.custom(factor.levels =
    c("Povrchov�� ��prava", "Bez PU")))

This use of 'xlim' is a short-hand, the traditional way of changing the
x-axis labels is

    scales = list(x = list(labels = c("Mleto", "Mleto a s��tov��no",
                          "Nemleto")))

Changing strip labels is more complicated if you have more than one
conditioning variable.
