Hello,
I am a new user to R and have a(proabably very basic) question relating to
a boxplot with eleven sites in a river system where i measured Chlorophyll a
concentrations.
The eleven sites are made up of three sites above a point source pollution
site; three sites below this pollution source and five sites in a different
unaffected river.
The following code is for a simple plot of the data
boxplot(Chl~Site,data=p,col="slategrey",
boxwex=0.75,xlab="Site",ylim=c(0,250))
mtext(expression("Chlorophyll a" (mg/m^2)),side=2,line=2.75,cex=0.7)
The question is:
1) In my data sheet I have the sites grouped together (i.e. above pollution,
below and unaffected), but the default setting in R seems to place these
alphabetically on the x-axis rather than in the order I have entered into
the spreadsheet. How to i correct this?
Many thanks,
Phil
