Good Afternoon- I was wanting to alter the boxplot to remove the lower whisker, both the whisker line and staple just on the lower end. Is there a way to do this? As my code is currently: boxplot(log_loads~ind,data=nfmaum, horizontal=TRUE, notch=T, outline=FALSE, whisker=0, main="Maumee River Near Future Climate Scenarios", ylab="Log Load",xlab="Climate Scenarios")

Dear R users, I have question concerning box plot and it's whiskers. As I understood from the description of the boxplot() function, if the range value is positive the plot whiskers extend out from the box to the most extreme data points defined by the values of the IQR times range (default 1.5). It suggests that the upper and lower plot whiskers should be more...

In a Box and Whisker plot, I thought that when there are outliers both abov= e and below the whiskers, then the whiskers should both be the same length = (plus or minus 1.5 times the inter-quartile range). If you look at the plot for SilwoodWeather on p.155 of The R Book you will = see that for November (month =3D 11) the upper whisker is shorter than the = lower, while for other months with outli...

How are the lower/upper whiskers defined in the default version of boxplot {graphics}? I tried help(boxplot) and searching www.rseek.org, but I was unable to determine an absolute answer. I checked out the definition of boxplot according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot), but it also had several approaches...

dear R-help, i have looked carefully through the R-help archives for information on how to suppress whiskers in a bwplot. someone asked this question a while ago, but the answer he received is not available in the archives. but i did manage to get my hands on a panel function (called "my.panel") that is supposed to do this (the function is reproduced at the end of the email, below). the probl...

Hi, I'm trying to graph some data in a boxplot-like style, but I want to set the box and whisker limits myself (rather than having R calculate them for me). I'd like the boxes to be shaded and the whiskers to be dotted lines. My data are set up is something like this: min.whisker max.whisker min.box max.box species 0 200 20 37 A 0 150 0 10 B 10 5...

Hello: I am plotting some data using the box and whisker plot. However, I only want to plot the median, max and min, as I only have these values and not the quartile values. It seems R arbitrarily constructs the box margins to be halfway between the median and the max/min. How do I make the box and whisker plots without the box values? Thanks, Michael [[alternative HTML version

Hi All- I have 24 boxplots on one graph. I do not have the whiskers extending to the outliers, but I would like to label the maximum value of each outlier above the whiskers. I have the stats but am having trouble figuring out how to label the whiskers. Any suggestions would be great! sherri

Hi, Dear R-users, I have a problem when I drawing a boxplot. I want to extend the whisker to the 5% and the 95% quantiles and only show the most extreme outlier, like 0.01% and 99.99% percentiles. What should I do? I saw something on boxplot.stat, but even I define the parameter in boxplot.stat, what I should do next? how to connect it to boxplot? Thank you very much! Catherine -- View

Hi, Dear R-users: Sorry for bothering your guys again. I think I should rewrite my question. I know how to extend whisker by using range. The question is that I will set the range=1.5, and at the same time, I only want to show the extreme outlier, like 0.01% and 99.99% percentile, so what should I do? Thank you very much!

My box plot below is drawing its upper whisker all the way to the last point, instead of showing the point as an outlier. Am I misunderstanding, or is it a bug? Help(boxplot) states for the parameter ?range? that ?this determines how far the plot whiskers extend out from the box. If range is positive, the whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than range times the interquartile range from the box. A value of zero causes the whiskers to extend to the data extremes.? To my understanding, the code below, which drew the boxplot...

Dear list, I am using a external program that outputs Q1, Q3, median, upper and lower whisker values for various datasets simultaneously in a tab delimited format. After importing this text file into R, I would like to plot a boxplot using these given values and not the original series of data points, i.e. not using something like boxplot(mydata). Is there an easy way for doing this? If I am not

Hi, Is it possible to produce box-and-whisker plots given that I have the median, interquartile and 5/95th centile values, but not the data from which they come? It seems that it ought to be possible to coerce bxp to do what I want, but I can't quite see how.

...m_errorbarh. This is the same problem reported earlier here, but I'll try to write the problem more clearly: http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help@r-project.org/msg62371.html The problem I'm having is that, the 'width' attribute is supposed to set the height of the endpoints of the whiskers, and respectively, the width of the endpoints of the whiskers in geom_errorbar. The width attribute works fine in geom_errorbar (sets width of whiskers fine), but it has no effect in geom_errorbarh (height of whiskers is the same no matter what value). Does anyone else still have this problem? A...

Hi list members. I’ll try to plot the abundance means of nine transects as lines, with five points on each transect (A to I). I will also need to plot for each point, it’s standard deviation (once each point will have tree replicates) as whiskers. Another problem will be that all the points should exist for each transect, but we know that six of the nine transects will have blanks (A1, A2, A3, -, A5). So the line have to be interrupted and can’t induce an inexistent value by link A3 to A5 (an example). Well, unfortunately I still don’t...

Hi all, I'm sure this is reallly basic, but I just can get it to work. I want to plot six box & whisker plots together to make one figure so that they appear one below the next. I can do this using >par(mfrow=c(6,1)), but each box&whisker plots end up vertically compressed to the point where I can't see the actual bars, and there is a large amount of white space between each

Hi, Sorry for bothering your guys. I am still working on boxplot. How can I extend the whisker to the 5% and the 95% quantiles?

Dear Researchers, sorry for this simple question. I have a point plot with mean values and i wish to plot line with Standard Deviation as "Whiskers". I calculate the mean+sd and mean-sd, but i can not figure out the way to add the line. mydata <- data.frame(mean=c(0.42,0.41,0.41,0.43,0.45,0.43,0.43,0.42,0.44,0.45,0.45,0.45,0.46,0.43,0.42,0.37,0.44,0.46,0.46,0.39,0.40), sdUP=c(0.58,0.56,0.55,0.57,0.61,0.55,0.57,0.59,0.61,0.60,0.57,0.6...
