Boxplot graphic
Probably the simplest answer is to google 'label boxplot outliers in R'. I found half a dozen solutions, (one of them my own, but that doesn't quite answer your question).
Adding names to a series of data can be as simple as saying
names(x) <- paste("x", 1:length(x))
After that, the solutions google finds answer the question.
One tip: If you want to _replace_ points with names, plot the boxplot with pch=NA (eg
bx <- boxplot(x~g, pch=NA)
to get the boxplot without outliers but with space for them, and then use text(bx$group, bx$out, ...) or similar to put the names in. If you want boxplot to return names, though, you will need to use a modified boxplot function. The first answer Google returns is one such.

I boxplotted some data. the class of the data is numeric. There are some outliers and I would like to see their names in the graphic. So, instead that the data points of the outliers are plotted as points, I would like to have their names plotted. First of, how can I give my data series (class numeric) names? Second, how could I adjust the boxplot to see the names of the outliers in the graphic instead of the points? cheers -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Boxplot-graphic-tp4637761.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
