David: I set this up and it still seems to plot the same: maumnf_plot<-boxplot(log_loads~ind,data=nfmaum, horizontal=TRUE, notch=T, outline=FALSE, whisker=0, main="Maumee River Near Future Climate Scenarios", ylab="Log Load",xlab="Climate Scenarios") maumnf_plot$stats[-1,] (to remove the lower whiskers) bxp(maumnf_plot) this does not remove the whiskers....is there something I am missing in bxp?
I said to replace the whisker value with the hinge value: maumnf_plot<-boxplot(log_loads~ind,data=nfmaum ) # only need the data to get the stats maumnf_plot$stats[1,] <- maumnf_plot$stats[2,] # Replaced whisker row with hinge row # The graphics arguments to bxp need to be in the second call. # They won't be carried over from the sats bxp(maumnf_plot, , horizontal=TRUE, notch=T, outline=FALSE, whisker=0, main="Maumee River Near Future Climate Scenarios", ylab="Log Load",xlab="Climate Scenarios")
I do now notice that there is an extraneous comma in that call that will throw an error if allowed to persist.

Good Afternoon- I was wanting to alter the boxplot to remove the lower whisker, both the whisker line and staple just on the lower end. Is there a way to do this? As my code is currently: boxplot(log_loads~ind,data=nfmaum, horizontal=TRUE, notch=T, outline=FALSE, whisker=0, main="Maumee River Near Future Climate Scenarios", ylab="Log Load",xlab="Climate Scenarios")
If you altered the value in what is passed from `boxplot.stats` to `bxp` so the lower whisker value was the same as the lower hinge value The lower whisker would merge into the hinge. `boxplot` returns those stats-values invisibly, so you just assign to an object name, make your changes and pass back to bxp.
I just want to better see the medians and high end tail.
