boxplot help
Hi Andy, Nice plot but yes, probably not exactly what you want. Thanks for providing the code. The nextthing you need to do is to send us some data to go with the code. There is a very handy function called dput() , which converts a dataset into a format that you can just copy from your R terminal and paste into an email that allows readers to work wiith your data or a sample of it. If the dataset is really large then something like dput(head (mydata, 50)) will supply the first fifty rows of data for us to work with. One of your problems seems to be that your dates are character values and need to be converted into datesfor you to get the chronological date order. See ?strptime or perhaps install the lubridate package for help there. Otherwise welcome to R Note to other readers : I think I actually got the dput syntax this time!! John Kane Kingston ON Canada

Tearing my hair out over getting the boxplot i want... I have a dataset called 'eagle' which consists of year (2011 or 2012), month (jan - dec), roof (TT6, TT13 or BARE) and temp (the continuous variable that i want to plot). So i want boxplots of the three roof treatments in every month organised in chronical order along x axis 2011 - 2012. my code at the moment is:
boxplot(Temp~Month, data=eagle, at = 1:12 - 0.5, boxwex=0.25,
subset=Roof
== "TT6", col = "green")
boxplot(Temp~Month, data=eagle, add=TRUE, at = 1:12 - 0.1, boxwex =
0.25,
subset=Roof == "TT13", col = "darkgreen")
boxplot(Temp~Month, data=eagle, add=TRUE, boxwex=0.25, at = 1:12 + 0.2,
subset=Roof == "BARE", col = "red")
smartlegend(x="left",y="top", inset = 0, c("green 1", "green 2",
"bare"),
fill = c("green", "darkgreen", "red"))
which produces the graph inserted Can anyone point me in right direction? thanks http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4640360/boxplot_trial.jpg -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/boxplot-help-tp4640360.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
