similar to: box-plot without a box surrounding the plot

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

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, I am a newbie to R. Now I am learning to draw boxplot using graphics(). I want to highlight the median position with a round point and the value left (or on the top of)to the point. Please kindly share the command and thank you. Elaine [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, what a great help list! I hope someone can help me with this puzzle... I'm trying to find a simple way to do: boxplot(obs~factor) so that the factors are ordered left-to-right along the x-axis by median, not alphabetically by factor name. Complicated ways abound, but I'm hoping for a magical one-liner that'll do the trick. Any suggestions would be treasured. Thanks,

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

Hi, Is there a function which counts the frequencies of the occurence of a number within an interval? for example I have this vector: x <- c(1, 3, 1.2, 5, 5.9) and I want a vector that gives me the frequencies within an interval of 2, beginning at 0 (so the intervals are 0-2, 2-4, 4-6 and so on) so I get these frequencies: 2, 1, 2 Which functions do I have to use for this purpose?

Estimados amigos, mi pregunta es bien directa, a ver si alguien me puede ayudar: Como marcar la media en un grafico boxplot ?? Por lo que veo, los boxplot en R marcan por defecto la mediana dentro de la caja, pero necesito marcar la media y ojala sacar la mediana para que no aparezcan los dos parametros. Por lo que he leido, imagino que se puede hacer con alguna funcion de bajo nivel, pero soy

Dear List, I have worked through the examples given in the help on boxplot(). If I am reading it right, only the median is produced (as a default), which is represented by the horizontal line inside the box. What argument do I need to specify if I want to show the mean as well? Thanks, platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status

Hi, I have this variable; x <- c("test_01.log") and I want to extract the number (01) out of the variable. So that I get; > x [1] 1 I tried strsplit, but I don't know how to refer to the result. Can someone help me with that? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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, 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

Hi, I try to write an own function in R. I want a summary table with descriptive statistics. For example, I have this data.frame: d <- data.frame(c(rep("m",5), rep("f",5)), c(1:10)) names(d) <- c("x", "y") d x y 1 m 1 2 m 2 3 m 3 4 m 4 5 m 5 6 f 6 7 f 7 8 f 8 9 f 9 10 f 10 now I want to get the mean and

thanks for the great help! But I have one additional question (hope I can work alone then); I want to replace the values of a vector, like this: x <- c(1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,1) x[x==1] <- c(12) x[x==2] <- c(13) x[x==3] <- c(17) x[x==4] <- c(20) x[x==5] <- c(22) is there a way to do that just in one or two code lines? I tried x[x == c(1:5)] <- c(12,13,17,20,22) but that

Hello R-users and developers, Once again, I'm asking for your help. I've used "identify" to identify points in a scatter plot. However, I can't apple in the boxplot..... I need to identify the outlier's id in the boxplot. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance, Ana Patricia Martins [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have a data frame with several columns. Now I want to transfer the data into a new variable (also a data frame), but I only want a part of the data, defined by a rule ... for example; I have following data frame: row1 row2 row3 x 2 3 x 1 4 y 5 3 y 2 3 I know want a data frame, only with lines containing x in row1. I know how to do that for one row (f <-

Hi, I was wondering if there is a ready made function or parameter for indicating the sample size in boxplots? Here's what I came up with so far: library(ISwR) data(energy) attach(energy) boxplot(expend~stature) sample.size <- tapply(expend, stature, length) sample.size <- paste("N=", sample.size, sep="") mtext(sample.size, at=1:length(unique(stature)), line=2,

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. Any help would be helpful. > attach(InsectSprays) boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, outpch = NA) stripchart(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, vertical = TRUE, method = "jitter", pch = 21, col =

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-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]]
