R help - Mar 2014 - BoxPlot basic help

Hi,
May be this helps:
dat <- read.table(text="Designation Basic
ASA???????? .25
ASA???????? .28
ASA???????? .32
TASA?????? .45
TASA?????? .33
TASA?????? .43",sep="",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE) 
?boxplot(Basic~Designation,data=dat,col=2:3)
#or
library(ggplot2)
?ggplot(dat,aes(x=Designation,y=Basic,fill=Designation))+geom_boxplot()

A.K.

Hello - I've been away from stat programming for a very long time and 
am just getting back into it. I'm not used to a non GUI interface which 
is where I'm running into problems with R. 

I have a data set that i'd like to use to create boxplots. 

the dataset sample looks as follows 

Designation Basic 
ASA ? ? ? ? .25 
ASA ? ? ? ? .28 
ASA ? ? ? ? .32 
TASA ? ? ? .45 
TASA ? ? ? .33 
TASA ? ? ? .43 

I have my grouping variable under 'designation' that i would like to use
to create the boxplot.

Could i request some help on the syntax to use after i have read
 this data file into a variable, say 'data' to group the information as 
per the grouping variable ? how do i define the grouping variable and 
use it in the boxplot command ? 

Any information would be greatly appreciated. in addition, if 
you could also point me to some basic training guides, that would be 
helpful as well. 

Thanks! 

Raol

You asked for basic training guides...

1. An Introduction to R ships with R. Did you miss it?

2. Google is your friend. There are a ton on the web. Search!
