Hello All,
On the subject of boxplots, I have multiple data sets of unequal sample
sizes and was wondering what would be the most efficient way to read in
the
data and plot side-by-side boxplots, with options for controlling the
orientation of the plots (i.e. vertical or horizontal) and the spacing?
Your
assistance is greatly appreciated, but please try to be explicit as I am
no
R expert. Thanks
Janh

Your variable loc_type combines information from two variables (loc and
type). Since you are subsetting on loc, why not just plot by type?
boxplot(var1~type, data[data$loc=="nice",])

Hi,
It must be an easy question but how to boxplot a subset of data:
data = read.table("my_data.txt", header = T)
boxplot(data$var1[data$loc == "nice"]~data$loc_type[data$loc ==
#in this case, i want to display only the boxplot loc == "nice"
#doesn't display the boxplot of only loc == "nice". It also displays
Hi Carol,
It's them old factors sneakin' up on you. Try this:
boxplot(data$var1[data$loc == "nice"]~
as.character(data$loc_type[data$loc == "nice"]))
