How to reduce the (whitespace) gap between boxplots

Make your xlim values narrower, as I showed you!

Alternatively, you could also us the "boxwex" parameter passed to
bxp() like this:

boxplot(RF,Ranger, SVM, KNN, DT, range = 0,  col=colors,
        at = seq(1:5), boxwex = .5,
        names= c("RF","Ranger", "SVM", "KNN", "DT"),main="Degree of
consistency
with default and optimized settings")

Thank you so much.

When I modify this, like the following

xlim = c(.2,4.2),

The spaces between boxplots are reduced but the main box (the container)

remains the same which still takes space. Can I reduce the size of the main
box (which contains all the boxplots) to take less space.

1. Typo: should be "KNN = (your data)"  -- not "knn"

You specified at.x, but failed to use it.  You need to specify the
"at" parameter of boxplot() and probably also "xlim" (which is passed
down to bxp(), the function that actually draws the plot).

e.g.

boxplot(RF,Ranger, SVM, KNN, DT, range = 0, boxwex = 0.2, col=colors,
at = seq(1,3,by = .5), xlim = c(.8,3.2),
        names= c("RF","Ranger", "SVM", "KNN", "DT"),main="Degree of

consistency

with default and optimized settings")

Modify to your taste.

Cheers,
Bert

Hi

I have the following code to display boxplots. The problem is it has

a wide

space (gap) between them which takes a lot of space on paper. How can

I

reduce the size so that it takes less time in a word document.

RF= c(81.8, 81.8, 42.8, 42.8, 100, 53.8)
Ranger= c(66.6, 81.8, 81.8, 33.3, 81.8, 53.8)
SVM= c(81.8, 66.6, 81.8, 53.8, 81.8, 66.6 )
knn= c(17.64, 33.33, 42.8, 25, 53.84, 17.64)
DT= c(33.3 , 66.6, 33.3, 66.6, 33.3, 25)


colors = rep("green",6)
at.x <- seq(1,by=.4, length.out = 10)
boxplot(RF,Ranger, SVM, KNN, DT, range = 0, boxwex = 0.2, col=colors,
names= c("RF","Ranger", "SVM", "KNN", "DT"),main="Degree of

consistency

with default and optimized settings")
