Dear List-Members, I would like to produce a ordered boxplot in which the categories with the smallest median are plotted at the left end and the box with the largest median at the right. Thanks in advance for any advices Thomas H.

I am using R 2.2.1 on a Windows 2000 PC. When I do a grid() after the boxplot it overprints the boxplot: > boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray") > grid(nx=NA, ny=NULL) > if I try the panel.first > boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray", + panel.first=grid(nx=NA, ny=NULL)) > I can see the grid flash

Hi, I was wondering if there is a ready made function or parameter for indicating the sample size in boxplots? Here's what I came up with so far: library(ISwR) data(energy) attach(energy) boxplot(expend~stature) sample.size <- tapply(expend, stature, length) sample.size <- paste("N=", sample.size, sep="") mtext(sample.size, at=1:length(unique(stature)), line=2,

Dear, I am a newbie to R. Now I am learning to draw boxplot using graphics(). I want to highlight the median position with a round point and the value left (or on the top of)to the point. Please kindly share the command and thank you. Elaine [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, what a great help list! I hope someone can help me with this puzzle... I'm trying to find a simple way to do: boxplot(obs~factor) so that the factors are ordered left-to-right along the x-axis by median, not alphabetically by factor name. Complicated ways abound, but I'm hoping for a magical one-liner that'll do the trick. Any suggestions would be treasured. Thanks,

There appears to be a bug in the R xfig() driver. When I run a simple example, eg > data(InsectSprays) > boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray") the boxplot is fine. Doing the same thing after > xfig(file='test.fig') and then opening in Xfig (ver3.2 patchlevel 2) on my Linux box produces boxplots where the boxes, although correctly shaded in,

Dear R-users, Does anyone knows how I can order my serie of boxplots from lowest to highest median (which is much better for visualization purposes). thanks in advance, willem [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all - With the following code I get Boxplots and Stripcharts in one Plot: with(InsectSprays, boxplot(count ~ spray, boxwex = 0.3)) with(InsectSprays, stripchart(count ~ spray, col = "red", vertical = TRUE, add = TRUE)) But the dots from the stripchart are plotted over the Boxes. Is there any possibility to have Stripchart and Boxplots side-by-side, i.e. to move boxplots and/or

Dear List, I have worked through the examples given in the help on boxplot(). If I am reading it right, only the median is produced (as a default), which is represented by the horizontal line inside the box. What argument do I need to specify if I want to show the mean as well? Thanks, platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status

Estimados amigos, mi pregunta es bien directa, a ver si alguien me puede ayudar: Como marcar la media en un grafico boxplot ?? Por lo que veo, los boxplot en R marcan por defecto la mediana dentro de la caja, pero necesito marcar la media y ojala sacar la mediana para que no aparezcan los dos parametros. Por lo que he leido, imagino que se puede hacer con alguna funcion de bajo nivel, pero soy

Hi all! Writing a paper using a lot of boxplots I was asked to mark the significant differences between plotted groups using "stars on top". These stars are found freqeuntly in medical papers and printed above boxplots when there is a significant difference (usually using a bar to indicate which groups are meant if there are more then two in a plot). I was able to calculate whatever

Hi, I just made a boxplot but I want to change the thickness of the line used for the median to look a little thinner. Could anyone please help me figuring out the R-code to do it? Thanks, I really appreciate it. Suyan

Hello R-users and developers, Once again, I'm asking for your help. I've used "identify" to identify points in a scatter plot. However, I can't apple in the boxplot..... I need to identify the outlier's id in the boxplot. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance, Ana Patricia Martins [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, How can I plot the number of observations per box in a boxplot. Many thanks, Bernard --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am very new to R so forgive me if this seems basic but I have done extensive searching and failed to come up with the answer for myself. I am trying to label a boxplot I have created with the values for the median, upper and lower quartiles and max and min values. I have been unable to do this or find anything on the net to say how it might be done. Is this possible and if so how? Regards,

Full_Name: Bob O'Hara Version: 2.6.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (88.112.20.250) Using horizontal=TRUE with boxplot() confuses it as to what is an x- or y-axis. At least, xlim= and ylim= are the wrong way round, log="x" (or "y") and xaxt= work as expected, I haven't looked at anything else. Some code to see if you can reproduce the bug (or discover

Hi, I tried to use boxplot function. I am following the ?boxplot and can change the whisker box width using lwd parameter. However, when outline=TRUE, the thickness of the circle of the outliers is not proportionally changed when I change the line width of the whisker box. There must be another parameter for that. Unfortunately I don't know. please help and thanks much in advance. --

Hey, Here is a snippet that generated a boxplot and separates points so that they do not overlap. I have a problem to avoir text overlapping.

Hi, I want to draw a boxplot and I want to get rid of the surrounding box. So that there are only the axis lines left on the bottom and on the left. I tried a litte bit with box() but I dont get it the way I want. Can somebody help me out?
