Boxplot- input the median point and the median value
Hello Jim, I tried your approach on box plot, and it is useful. Thanks. However, I wanna add the mean value right or left to the mean point. (as attached) Please kindly share if it is possible and thanks again. Elaine

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.
Hi Elaine, For your boxplot questions, I'll use the first example from the boxplot help page: boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray",yaxt="n") axis(2,c(2,8,14,20),c(2,8,14,20)) For the "dotted to solid" question: boxplot_info<-boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays,col = "lightgray") segments(rep(1:6,each=2),boxplot_info$stats[c(1,4),], rep(1:6,each=2),boxplot_info$stats[c(2,5),]) And finally, for the median value question: boxplot_info<-boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray") points(1:6,boxplot_info$stats[3,]) text(1:6,boxplot_info$stats[3,]+1,boxplot_info$stats[3,]) A bit messy, but you get the idea.
