I've altered the code slightly so one group has no data in one month. library(ggplot2) dataset <- data.frame(Month = factor(rep(1:12, 20)), Value = c(rnorm(120) + 1:12, rnorm(120) + 12:1), Group = gl(2, 120, labels = LETTERS[1:2])) dataset <- dataset[dataset$Month != 2 | dataset$Group != "A", ] ggplot(dataset, aes(x = Month, y = Value, colour = Group)) + geom_boxplot()
