[Rd] arguments to boxplot( ) not passed to bxp() (PR#9183)
Full_Name: Landon Sego Version: 2.3.1 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (130.20.54.241) # When calling boxplot(), shouldn't the "axes" and "frame.plot" # arguments get passed down to bxp()? # Two examples where the "frame.plot" and "axes" arguments # don't seem to work the way one would anticipate: X <- data.frame(x=as.factor(rep(c(1,2,3), 10)), y=rnorm(30)) # Removes the axes, but doesn't frame the plot boxplot(y~x, data=X, axes=FALSE, frame.plot=TRUE) # Both axes and frame are present boxplot(y~x, data=X, axes=TRUE, frame.plot=FALSE) # However, if we explictly use bxp(), the arguments work as # we would expect: Y <- boxplot(y~x, data=X, plot=FALSE) # Frames plot and no axes bxp(Y, frame.plot=TRUE, axes=FALSE) # Produces axes with no frame bxp(Y, frame.plot=FALSE) # If I'm mistaken (or misinformed) and this isn't a bug, # please accept my apologies in advance.
