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 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

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

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

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

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 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 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. Sorry for that question, but I am new to R. cheers steph -- Linux: the operating system with a CLUE...

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

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

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,

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

People, It appears that there is no way of getting Boxplots to plot using Mean, SD, Max & Min - is there something else that would do what I want? I couldn't find it . . Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia E-mail: phil at pricom.com.au

Hi folks, I have a vaiable Y and an associated factor Z at several (13) levels. boxplot(Y~Z) produces a nice array of boxplots, one for each level of Z, and each duly labaelled with its level of Z. I would like to superpose on each boxplot the actual data points which it represents, i.e. do something conceptually (though not in real R) expressed as points(Y~Z) or points(Z,Y) It can

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'm new to the whole R-thing as a replacement for Matlab, not disappointed sofar ;) I found out how to make nice looking boxplots, but i also would like the make a boxplot with 5% and 95% instead of the standard 25 and 75% quantiles. My csv input looks something like: LOCATION FILTER NR DATE VALUE MONTH Peelhorst01 1 14-Jan-94 23.07 1 Peelhorst01 1 28-Jan-94 23.68 1 Peelhorst01 1

Dear R-Users! My aim is to produce boxplots without the outliers included in the plot. I started to write a function that looks something like: myboxplot <-function(x,fa) { bpdata <- boxplot(x~fa,plot=FALSE) bpnames <- names(bpdata) for (JJ in bpnames) { command <- paste("bpdata$",JJ,"$out <- numeric(0)",sep=""); eval(command) }

Hi all, I've been using the scatterplot3d function (from the scatterplot3d library) to create 3D plots. I was wondering whether there is anyway to group the points according to a particular group variable. For example I used the plot function as plot( factor( <GROUPINGVAR> ) , <PLOTVARS> ) to organise the results in a according to the grouping variable. I was wondering

Another naive stats question. I'm trying to better understand what boxplots are telling me. I think what I see is the median and the boundaries of the 1st and 3rd quartiles. The whiskers represent the range of the data unless there are points which are outside "range" (default: 1.5) times the distance from the median to that quartile. Is that right? I've read the
