R help - Oct 2008 - GGPLOT/QPLOT Boxplot with summary

I'd like to generate a boxplot that has BOTH the overall distribution of a
continuous variable (say age), and then a boxplot for  each level of a
stratifying variable (e.g. site). Does anyone have prototype code for this?

Thanks,

Here's two quick thoughts:

qplot(1, mpg, data=mtcars, geom="boxplot") + facet_grid(. ~ cyl,
margins =T)
qplot(factor(cyl), mpg, data=mtcars, geom="boxplot") +
geom_boxplot(aes(x = "all"), width = 0.9)
