Hi, All, I am trying to use R to make the following type of boxplot while I couldn't find a way to do it. My dataset looks like X1 Y1 X2 Y2.... SPLIT. The split highlights my experiment details and both x and y are continuous numerical values. I need to plot y vs. x with split as legend and boxplot has to be used for all splits. May I ask how to get it? Currently available boxplot only applies on the case that X axis is character.
Boxplots do _not_ have continuous "X" axes. You will need to explain in greater detail what goal you are seeking. Perhaps something like a bagplot? http://gallery.r-enthusiasts.com/RGraphGallery.php?graph=112 -- David Winsemius, MD Alameda, CA, USA
