Can anybody help me on how to boxplot multiple groups with different color? Say, I have 3 groups of data, each group with 2 boxes, and I'd like to have the following layout in the boxplot: red, red, green, green, blue, blue thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-groups-with-different-colors-in-boxplot-tp25867267p25867267.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[R] multiple groups with different colors in boxplot
Here is a solution using ggplot2 n <- 1000 dataset <- data.frame(A = rep(1:6, n), B = rep(gl(3, 2), n)) dataset$C <- with(dataset, rnorm(n) * as.numeric(B) + A) library(ggplot2) dataset$A <- factor(dataset$A) #with default colours ggplot(dataset, aes(x = A, y = C, colour = B)) + geom_boxplot() #with custom colours ggplot(dataset, aes(x = A, y = C, colour = B)) + geom_boxplot() + scale_colour_manual(breaks = c("1", "2", "3"), values = c("red", "green", "blue")) HTH, Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ir.
