boxplots of 1 (or 2 or 3) "datum" ..
When I needed a plot like what I think you want, I have used one of: plot(as.numeric(X),y) where X is a factor or plot.default(X,y) best regards, Rashid (Rashid Nassar)

First, thanks very much for your informative suggestion about creating example data. I'm not good enough at R yet to have thought of that, and your email taught me some new things, which I really appreciate. (I didn't enclose the actual data because they relate to confidential scholarship evaluations.)
*Or* are you suggesting that for n=1, n=2 (and maybe n=3) per group
plot(factor, continuous)
shouldn't use boxplot()s but rather dot plots ?
This is a suggestion that I've heard and had myself before,
very well worth discussing.
Yes, this is what was on my mind. I'm not sure how the decision should be made to do boxplots versus dotplots, but maybe that could be an optional flag? Again, thanks for the comments. Dan. Dan E.
