I don't believe so. Sorry if I am missing something (I am a beginner user of
R). I tried just putting in all the defaults as see on
http://bm2.genes.nig.ac.jp/RGM2/R_current/library/plotrix/man/gap.boxplot.html
Here is a copy of my script and how the graph looks right now (without the break
in the axis). There are two images. One is with the entire axis shown (with
outliers) and the other is without outliers.
The script is:
# Create box-and-whisker plot CLI class areas
# for all of Nova Scotia
# Written by Megan Bellamy
# Import *.csv files containing areas for each CLI class
cli3<-read.table("F:\\Megan\\cli3.csv", header=TRUE, row.names=1,
sep=",")
cli4<-read.table("F:\\Megan\\cli4.csv", header=TRUE,
sep=",")
cli5<-read.table("F:\\Megan\\cli5.csv", header=TRUE,
sep=",")
cli6<-read.table("F:\\Megan\\cli6.csv", header=TRUE,
sep=",")
cli7<-read.table("F:\\Megan\\cli7.csv", header=TRUE,
sep=",")
# Attach these to the dataframe
attach(cli3)
attach(cli4)
attach(cli5)
attach(cli6)
attach(cli7)
# Calculate box and whisker values for each file
CLI3<-(quantile(hectares))
CLI4<-(quantile(hectares2))
CLI5<-(quantile(hectares3))
CLI6<-(quantile(hectares4))
CLI7<-(quantile(hectares5))
# Set margins for plot area
par(mar=c(5, 5, 3, 1))
# Plot box-and-whisker with areas being blue
# label X-axis according to CLI class(es) being plotted, and let the Y-axis be
the default,
# showing area in hectares
boxplot(CLI3, CLI4, CLI5, CLI6, CLI7, col="white",ann=FALSE,
axes=FALSE, outline=TRUE)
axis(1, at=1:5, lab=c("3", "4", "5",
"6", "7"))
axis(2, at=NULL)
#axis(2,tck=0.01,mgp=c(1,0.5,0),las=2)
box()
title(main="CLI classes by Area",col="black", font.main=2)
title(xlab= "Canadian Land Inventory Class", col="black")
title(ylab="Area in hectares(ha)", col="black")
#install.packages("plotrix")
#axis.break(axis=2, breakpos=8000, bgcol="white",
breakcol="black", style="gap", brw=0.02)
#gap.boxplot(CLI3, CLI4, CLI5, CLI6, CLI7, gap=list(top=c(8000,280000),
bottom=c(0,250)), range=50, outline=TRUE, par(ask=FALSE)

is there an na.rm argument in gap.boxplot?

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so
little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us
feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the annoying little
problems of being mammals.
