Dear list, How can I add the mean and standard deviation to each of the boxplots using the example provided in the boxplot function? boxplot(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth, boxwex = 0.25, at = 1:3 - 0.2, subset = supp == "VC", col = "yellow", main = "Guinea Pigs' Tooth Growth", xlab = "Vitamin C dose mg",

Dear List, ? I am creating a boxplot with two subsets, very similar to the example by Roger Bivand at ?boxplot (reproduced below).? I am trying to change the labels on the x-axis to have one number to cover both subsets.? I can do this in other plots by using axis=FALSE followed by a separate axis() command.? I have also tried variations in the names= argument but can't get it to work.?

Hello everybody, often I plot boxplots with different number of boxes (up to 200 boxes). I'd like to give every box a readable label on the x-axis. Therefore, I decrease the fontsize of the names and plot them vertical. But if you zoom into the plot (pdf) you will find an offset between the tickmark and the label - the label is shifted to the right. If you vary the box.count in the

Thank you for your guys reply for my previous question. But I got one more question about the boxplot. With the code in the R-help: boxplot(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth, boxwex = 0.25, at = 1:3 - 0.2, subset = supp == "VC", col = "yellow", main = "Guinea Pigs' Tooth Growth", xlab = "Vitamin C dose mg", ylab =

Was there ever a convenient method provided to add boxplots to the current plot at specified x values? There was a question by Martin Maechler some time ago here, but I could seem to find any satisfactory resolution of it. I see that there is an add=T option to boxplot and bxp, but I don't see how to set the x-values. url: http://www.econ.uiuc.edu Roger Koenker email roger at

Hello there, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me as I'm pretty new to R. I'm trying to create a boxplot from a data table returned from an sproc. I have the following code, which generates the plot as I'd like it: library("RODBC"); conn <- odbcConnect("datawarehouse"); # connect to datawarehouse results <- sqlQuery(conn, "call

Hi I have two vectors of integers and I am plotting a box plot that contains both vectors. I have done the following: vec1 < -scan("file1") vec2 < -scan("file2") boxplot(vec1, vec2, range=0, horizontal=TRUE, names=c("One","Two"), boxwex=0.15) I managed to get both boxplots on the same figure but there they are wide apart. Is there a way to reduce

Hello, I want to plot 3 boxplots [ par(mfrow=c(3,1)) ] but the first one has 8 groups, the 2nd has 7 and the third has 6. But I the groups to line up: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 3 4 5 6 7 8 where the numbers actually refer to years. I suspect I have to manipulate the function bxp(). Is there a relatively simple way to do this? Thanks for any help. Jeff Breiwick NMFS, Seattle

Hi! My name is Martin and I have a problem concerning the boxplot function in R. I want my boxes to be limited by the 1st and 3rd quartile and NOT the 'hinges' values that are the default setting in R. Do anyone knows if there is any command that I could do to change this default setting? Sincerely Martin Olofsson

v 2.0.1 (sooooh old!) on Win2k I think I know the answer to this but I can hope ... I have data for continuous variables (measures of residents) by a categorical variable in range (1,22), the units in which they live. I want to plot these data with a pair of boxplots one above another with same x-axis (1,22) using par(mfrow=c(2,1)) and then plotting first for the women then for the men.

I tried the following command to produce boxplot of diagonals in pairs function: > pairs(t1.5,diag.panel=boxplot) Error in pairs.default(t1.5, diag.panel = boxplot) : The panel function made a new plot The graphics device draws two graphs, one with a rectangle at (1,1) in 7x7 layout and the other with boxplot(t1.5$wind) at (1,2). pairs function help file has a similar example with

Hello, I would like to plot my data in a fashion similar to a boxplot, but plot the true data points without a box, just overlay lines of the summary generated by the boxplot. I have less than 10 observations within each group, so I think showing the actual data would be more effective than the box of the boxplot. I have been unable to find a way to do this. Here is example data: >

Hello, I know this has been covered on here before, but as a complete novice, I need a little more guidance. I would like to produce boxplots with the whiskers extending to the 10 and 90th percentiles. I found this code: myboxplot.stats <- function (x, coef = NULL, do.conf = TRUE, do.out = TRUE) { nna <- !is.na(x) n <- sum(nna) stats <- quantile(x, c(.1,.25,.5,.75,.9), na.rm

I'm graphing a series of boxplots of grouped data inside a function that passes the data.frame, the names vector, and a title vector. Because both the data subset changes with each successive pass through the function, occasionally the names vector turns up with only one group to plot. This is an expected result. However, when the names argument in boxplot has only a single name, it

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

I am a new and unexperienced user of R and got so far as to know how to produce boxplots. I have no experience of messing with function code, so presently I do not know how to create a boxplot with group means instead of group medians. If somebody could help me either replace the median with the mean or superimpose the mean onto the existing boxplot, it would be appreciated.

Dear R-core team, I think I found a small inconsistency in the boxplot function. I don't want to post it as a bug since I'm not sure this might be considered as one according to the FAQ --- and this is not a major problem. Don't hesitate to tell me if I'm wrong. If you try to do a boxplot on a matrix and set the "at" argument to some vector different from 1:n, n is the

Hello, I have a couple more questions about boxplots. In the books I've read on statistics (I'm not a statistics expert but just a poor engineer trying to help his wife with the analysis of the data she gathered for her medieval history PhD), I seen two kinds of box plots: one using quartiles to determine the height of the rectangles and whiskers which is what the standard R boxplot does,

The standard R boxplot appears to use quartiles to determine the height of the rectangles and a range parameter - RNG - (default=1.5 I think) that determines the length of the whiskers as <= RNG x Interquartile Range. Is it possible to instead define the range as extending to the 95th percentile? If so, how would this be done? nb, I'm plotting multiple boxplots on a single chart so a

Hi, All, I am trying to use R to make the following type of boxplot while I couldn't find a way to do it. My dataset looks like X1 Y1 X2 Y2.... SPLIT. The split highlights my experiment details and both x and y are continuous numerical values. I need to plot y vs. x with split as legend and boxplot has to be used for all splits. May I ask how to get it? Currently available boxplot only
