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

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 :

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

Dear guRus, I want to do some boxplots, but the median sould appear in another line-thickness and another color. I do not know, what to do in order to realise my wishes.

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")

R helpers I am getting to grips with R but came across a small problem today that I could not fix by myself. I have 3 text files, each with a single column of data. I read them in using: myData1<-scan("C:/Program Files/R/myData1.txt") myData2<-scan("C:/Program Files/R/myData2.txt") myData3<-scan("C:/Program Files/R/myData3.txt") I wanted to produce a

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.

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

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

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

PR #7690 points out that if the confidence intervals (+/-1.58 IQR/sqrt(n)) in a boxplot with notch=TRUE are larger than the hinges -- which is most likely to happen for small n and asymmetric distributions -- the resulting plot is ugly, e.g.: set.seed(1001) npts <- 5 X <- rnorm(2*npts,rep(3:4,each=npts),sd=1) f <- factor(rep(1:2,each=npts)) boxplot(X~f) boxplot(X~f,notch=TRUE) I can

I really like the ease of use with the boxplot command in R. I would rather have a boxplot that shows the average value and the standard deviation then the median value and the quartiles. Is there a way to do this?

Hola, por mi parte doy por zanjado el tema. He llegado a la causa raíz de mi problema: falta de conocimiento de la forma en la que se debe usar la ayuda de las funciones de R y gracias a vuestra colaboración, ¡ya se cómo hacerlo :) !   Nuevamente,gracias a todos. Saludos,   Fernando   -- ____________________________________   Hola,   La misma función boxplot indica la existencia de estas

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",

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! I am trying to get the tick / label under a stacked boxplot with only a single data row. With >=2 rows it works, but with a single one the tick resp. my class name is not printed below the boxplot. Can anybody point me to what am I doing wrong? For example: boxplot(data.frame(c(3,4,5)),names=list("a"),beside=F) Here, I would like to have the "a" below the single

Hi, I'm looking for a way to get white boxplots on a black background. The following is insufficient because although the box is white, I can't figure out how to change the whisker color to white. x <- rnorm(100) par(bg = "black") boxplot(x) boxplot(x, col = "white", notch=T) Is there no way to specify inverse colors and then not change background etc.? I'm

Dear all, is this a bug or do a miss something (this concerns version 0.63.1 on Linux)? > boxplot (c (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), ylim= c (-5, 5)) Warning: parameter "ylim" couldn't be set in high-level plot() function > boxplot (c (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), pars= list (ylim= c (-5, 5))) Warning: parameter "ylim" couldn't be set in high-level plot() function > and actually in

Is there a way to modify the choice of notch size [1] in R's boxplot routine from outlining a 5% significance region, to say 1% or lower? Thanks, Alex [1] McGill, Tukey, and Larsen. "Variations of Box Plots", The American Statistician, Vol. 32, No. 1, 12-16.
