similar to: Rotate numbers on the Y axis on a multiple Boxplot chart

Hi, I have been working through one of the examples on the FAQ about rotating the labels on the x axis, I need to do the same but for the y axis. I have managed to change some of the code, but I am still not getting there, there is still something wrong. My syntax is as follows: > par(mar = c(5, 7, 4, 2) + 0.1) > plot(1 : 8, yaxt = "n", ylab = "") > axis(2,

Hi, I?ve got some problems with the labels of the x-axis I,ve got two factors with two categories each: sex (males and females) and area (central and peninsulae), but because of the lenngth in the graphic just appeared two of the four labels. I thought the solution could be rotate it 45? degrees, I have read it can be done with "srt" or "rotate", but I don?t know hoe to use

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

A function I've been using for a while returned a surprising [to me, given the data] error recently: Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : Logarithmic axis must have positive limits After some digging I realized what was going on: x <- c(10460.97, 10808.67, 29499.98, 1, 35818.62, 48535.59, 1, 1, 42512.1, 1627.39, 1, 7571.06, 21479.69, 25, 1, 16143.85, 12736.96,

Hi there, I get a strange behaviour of a boxplot with the following code. There seems to be a problem with the xlim-parameter. Did I do anything wrong? What else can I do to force the boxplot to have a defined x-range? x <- rnorm(100) boxplot(x, notch=TRUE, xlab=parameter, xlim <- c(-4,4), horizontal = TRUE) Antje

Dear R users, x-values (EI) = Adw, EG1, LA1, Ad1, LA2, LA3...(14 levels, insect stages) y-valus = antpop within the boxplot function x-values are ordered alphabetically Idea: x-values ranked by list order (insect stage: Egg stage 1 is followed by Larvae 1 and not by Egg stage 2 as it would be in an alphabetically order) Problems with the order(tapply()) function: variable lengths

Dear list members, Can anyone tell me how the notches in boxplot(Y~X,notch=T) are calculated? What do these notches represent exactly? I?d suppose they are Conficence Intervals for the median, but I?ve also been told they might show Least Significant Difference (LSD) equivalents. I would very much appreciate any help from you. Best regards Chris.

I''d like to make the following changes (differences are from R1.0.1): boxplot.default() 1c1 < function (x, ..., range = 1.5, width = NULL, varwidth = FALSE, --- > function (x, ..., range = 1.5, width = NULL, varwidth = FALSE, boxwex=0.8, 37c37,38 < bxp(groups, width, varwidth = varwidth, notch = notch, --- > bxp(groups, width, varwidth = varwidth,

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")

Sorry to repost this, but it looks like it's getting buried in r-help (originally posted October 5: my experience says that if it hasn't been answered by then it won't be). I wouldn't bother, but I'm worried that r-devel might be better, *and* a previous e-mail of mine on the subject in January also seemed to get buried. Synopsis: boxplot notches look weird when notches are

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 R-Help, Could anybody tell me how the boxplot-function calculates the upper and lower extremes of the notch contained in $conf which I assume is the confidence interval? Is it reliable for data which is not normally distributed? If not, how can I calculate and boxplot a specific confidence interval for not normally distributed data in R (increasing the sample size does not normalize the

Hello list. Is it possible to use par(srt=45) to rotate text by 45 degrees along the x-axis of a plot. Using: <code> x_names<-c("C57 Nv", "C57 Vacc", "129 Nv", "129 Vacc", "IFNgR Nv", "IFNgR Vacc") par(srt=45) mtext(font=2, x_names, side=1, line=1, at=l, cex=1.2) par(srt=0) </code> doesn't seem to work in R 2.2.0

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

[this was sent to R-help-owner instead of R-help. why on earth ??!???!? well, I took the liberty to cut the long citation.. MM] Dear Yusuke These changes look interesting. Have you considered being able to specify a different shading or crosshatching for each box. I can't see how you can do this at present. You can get different colours but of course this is no good for black

Here is a question from an old guy: I want to use the boxplot function as follows: boxplot( p.prop ~ R + bins ) This command makes nice boxplot for the factor "R" crossed with the factor "bins". I am having alot of trouble getting control of the labels on the X axis. I want to control it more by specifying what the labels are, controling the 'size' of those

In the following code the arrow symbols do not rotate with the text on the Mac OS window, however the do rotate on X11 port on Mac OS. (R version 1.71) x <- c(0,10.) y <- c(0,10.) offset <- 3 centre <- 5 plot(x,y, xlim=range(x), ylim=range(y),type="n", xlab="",ylab="", main="",xaxt="n",yaxt="n") for (i in (seq(0, 340,

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 :

I've got a graph with really long labels. I've tried decreasing the font size, but they're still getting truncated. I've RTFMed & it seems that mgp should have something to do with this, but I can't make it work. I need about 2-3x as much space for labels as is available by default (or on the example below). boxplot(split(ranks,c(1:25)), names=items, horizontal=F)

Dear List, I just googled to find out if notched box plots are possible with ggplot2, but couldn't find a answer to it. boxplot() has the option: notch = TRUE, e.g.: boxplot(mpg$hwy, notch=TRUE) My example code (taken from the net) is: require(ggplot2) qplot(class, hwy, fill=factor(year), data=mpg, geom="boxplot", position="dodge")+theme_bw() Thank you for you help!
