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.

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

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 need to convert general numbers to percentages in R to create a boxplot for purposes of comparison. Can you please tell me how I can do that? My data is attached as a csv file. Thanks. Daniel

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.

Hi everyone, I made this set of boxplots that would show me the widths of some sites broken up by some chromosome, but I don't know how to make it indicate the number of data points that created the boxplot. How do I do that? boxplot(data$site~data$chr,varwidth='TRUE') -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/boxplot-width-tp2266805p2266805.html Sent from the

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

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,

Hi all, Could anybody help me figure out how to write text on a boxplot. I have to plot 9 boxplots side by side on a single graph. On the x-axis I write numeric values with the 'names' argument but I'd like to add one label (character value) in the middle of each box. I know how to use the text() function for regular y~x plots but in this particular case, I'm kinda lost...

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.

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

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.

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

Hi, Is there such a thing? If no: is it easily simulated? thanks, Joh

Dear guRus, after solving serveral other probs with boxplots, my ylabs do not appear correct. They area cut off. I guess I have to change the letf and right margins, but I do not know how.
