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 :

Dear Users Is there any way to generate lines instead of points for outliers in the boxplot function? Thanks AA. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

dear all, could somebody tell me how I can plot mild outliers as a circle(?) and extreme outliers as an asterisk(*) in a box-whisker plot?

hello list, i'm a bit puzzled by the error message i get when i copy past this in R:

Hi, I was just trying to figure out how to beautify the output of my bwplot-output. Altogether I figured most of the things out on my own. The one thing which puzzles me though are the symbols for the outliers. I can easily change the form of the median symbol by using "pch" but I don't know how to do this for outliers. Obviously the "outpch" of the

Hi: I would like to write a function that takes as its input a formula and outputs normalized coefficients ( coef(x)*sdv(x)/sdv(y) ). now, a formula is an object, and I cannot see how to extract the variables for obtaining sdv's. the intent is to write something like my.print.lm( formula ) { model <- lm(formula); coefs <- (t(summary.lm(model)))[1,]; tvals <-

Hello, I have created two boxplots with following R code. There is one outlier in B group. The outlier is 33. But the all other data are between 0 to 4. How can I skip y-axis around 5 to 25, and expand 0-4 for this case. Also I want keep the outlier in my boxplot. I want my boxplot look like the second one, keep the outlier, and make an interrupt of y-axis from 5 to 25. Thanks, Jianghong

Hi All- I have 24 boxplots on one graph. I do not have the whiskers extending to the outliers, but I would like to label the maximum value of each outlier above the whiskers. I have the stats but am having trouble figuring out how to label the whiskers. Any suggestions would be great! sherri

Hi, # For publications, I am not allowed to repeat the axes. I have tried to remove the axes using: # yaxt="n", but it did not work. I have not understood how to do this in ggplot2. Can you help me? # I also do not want loads of space between the graphs (see below script with Dummy Data). # If I could make it look like the examples on the (nice) examples page: #

I'd like to suggest changes to three help pages, regarding the use of pch=NA to suppress plotting symbols. See below. Arni R 2.0.1 on WinXP === help(bxp) === The argument outpch=" " needs to be replaced with outpch=NA in two places. I actually wrote this part of the documentation myself at one point, but have now realized that pch=NA and pch=" " are not the same:

http://www.nabble.com/file/p14668788/paragraphs.png Hi, R is is world full of wonders... I created the attached plot, and I think it's exactly what I need! Well, actually I think it is more that wht I need... I wanted R to show the mean values of the categories on the x-axis and maybe the standard derivation as well. I am pretty confident that the bold horrizontal lines in the plot show

Hi, I am new in R and would like to dot plot my real data points from different categories and put box plot overlapping. To give a feeling of the distribution of my data and the real values. I managed to that in excel but it takes a lot of time and it makes the program crash quite often! http://n4.nabble.com/file/n2134530/Excelversion.jpg I managed to get a box plot and a dot plot of my three

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 =

Hi, there. I have two questions about using R to create boxplots. 1. The function boxplot() plots the outliers. How can I label the exact values arount these outlier points? Does R have an option allow me to do that? 2. How can I put two boxplots in one x-y axis? Thanks.

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 color the data points on my boxplot but I only get the default black. Not sure why. Any ideas? Thank you, Mark Here is my code. > dat.g100 <- dat.sg[100,] # selected gene (row) from a dataframe of 37 columns > d1 <- as.matrix(dat.g100[,1:18]) # subset 1 > d2 <- as.matrix(dat.g100[,19:37]) # subset 2 # boxplots > par(mfrow=c(2,1)) > boxplot(d1,

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?

I need to make weighted boxplots. I found that ggplot makes them. I would however like to label them with the boxplot statistics (the median, q1 and q3). In the boxplot function in r-base, I could output boxplot statistics and then write a text on the plot to place the labels. How would one do it with ggplot? Vikas

I have a data frame containing columns which are factors. I use this to make boxplots for the data, with one box per factor. I would now like to get at the data in the data frame which corresponds to the outliers. I have so far found the $out, which gives "the values of any data points which lie beyond the extremes of the whiskers", but I haven't found anything which will let me get

Hi everyone (again), before you all start screaming that the reordering of factors has been discusse on several threads and is not particular to ggplot2, hear me out. I can easily reorder my x-axis factor in facet.grid() in ggplot2. What I cannot reorder are the factors represented on the strips. I can see that the graphs are changing, so I am afraid of what it is I am doing. Why is ggplot2
