Full_Name: Steve Ellison Version: 2.4.1 OS: Windows, Linux Submission from: (NULL) (194.73.101.157) bxp() allows specifcation of box locations with at=, but neither adjusts xlim= to fit at nor does it respect xlim provided explicitly. This is because bxp() now includes explicit xlim as c(0.5, n+0.5), without checking for explicitly supplied xlim (or ylim if horizontal). This also prevents

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 have been trying draw tickmark labels along the y - axis perpendicular to the y axis while labels along the x - axis parallel to x axis while making box plot. Here is my test dataset.

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

Hi there, assume that you have data with different sampling like d1 <- rnorm(100) d2 <- rnorm(150) now, I'd like to create two boxplots in one graph but each plot located at the sampling number at the x-axis. This, I can do with "at" l <- list(d1,d2) boxplot(l, at=c(length(d1), length(d2)), xlim=c(0,200) ) but both plots are very thin and I'd like to increase the

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

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.

Boxplot and bxp seem to have changed behaviour a bit of late (R 2.4.1). Or maybe I am mis-remembering. An annoying feature is that while at=3:6 will work, there is no way of overriding the default xlim of 0.5 to n+0.5. That prevents plotting boxes on, for example, interval scales - a useful thing to do at times. I really can see no good reason for bxp to hard-core the xlim=c(0.5, n+0.5) in the

Dear all, I am a total beginner in R, so sorry if this is the wrong place. I am using R 2.10.1 on a Mac (Mac OS 10.6.2). I have this small dataset : growth sugar 75 C 72 C 73 C 61 F 67 F 64 F 62 S 63 S I have no problem reading the table, or getting the summary, but if I try boxplot(growth~sugar, ylab="growth", xlab="sugar", data=Dataset), I have the following error :

Hi, I have data that looks like this: ASA1 ASA2 C1_C2 C M 9.0225 S S 2.4315 M C 3.4894 M S 4.5282 C M 1.3183 C S 1.3735 S C 1.0488 S M 7.948 M C 4.5827 I need to plot Boxplots for a given ASA1 (either C,S, or M) with respect to C1_C2. However, instead of one boxplot I want to plot

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

Hi, I want to add boxplots to a scatterplot: plot(x,y, xlim=c(80,120),ylim=c(80,120)) boxplot(y,add=TRUE,at=118) boxplot(x,add=TRUE,at=118,horizontal=TRUE) How can I control the width of the boxes (say, I'd like them to be of width 3 in the variables' scales). I've tried the "width" parameter but failed. Thanks in advance, Marcin

There seems to be a problem with partial matching of argument names in boxplot(), in respect of the "horizontal" argument. I don't recall seeing this issue discussed previously. My apologies if I am being redundant. (A scan of CRAN revealed that someone had experienced problems with the "horizontal" argument, but he was spelling it out in full, so that was a different

When plotting using the cex.axis argument to boxplot(), the size of the plotting symbols beyond the whiskers of the boxplot are being changes. Example: par(mfrow=c(2,1)) boxplot(c(rnorm(10), 10), horizontal=TRUE, main="Test", las=2, cex.axis=2) boxplot(c(rnorm(10), 10), horizontal=TRUE, main="Test", las=2, cex.axis=1) This is from the following line in bxp()

Hi, the graphical parameter "cex.axis" does not have any affect for "boxplot": data(iris) boxplot(iris[,1:4], ylab="y", cex.lab=2, cex.axis=2) The patch is simply adding "cex.axis" to the search for axis relevant parameters in "bxp": ax.pars <- pars[names(pars) %in% c("xaxt", "yaxt", "las",

I have some code as shown below. Basically, I would like three boxplots to be set next to each other with no ylabels on the two "inner" plots, and I want the same x axis range on all three. However, it seems like boxplot does not respect the xlim setting. I've tried the various ways I thought would work (par, boxplot(...xlim=)) but none of them seem to work. I then tried plot.window,

Greetings, I am trying to add a boxplot to the bottom of a histogram, right between the histogram bars and the x axis. Here is the code I am using at the moment (the par line is probably not relevant for our discussion): hs <- hist(x, breaks = 20, plot = F) par(mar = c(3,3,2,1)) hist(x, breaks = 20, main = NULL, ylim = c(-2, max(hs$counts))) boxplot(x, horizontal = T, axes = T, add =

Dear r-bugs, I'd like to be able to draw boxplots with solid or dotted whisker lines. The lty argument is currently ignored by boxplot(), and indeed hardwired in bxp(). It's not very difficult to customize these functions to generate various types of boxplots, but generally it might be an idea to allow the user to pass a few more graphical arguments to boxplot(). The approach might as

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 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.?
