Re: [R] question about boxplot
You can also set axes=FALSE as in boxplot( p.prop ~ R + bins, axes=FALSE ) and then add your own labels with axis(). the argument 'at' for axis() in the case of boxplots are usually integers going from 1 to # of groups, though I don't know specifically for your crossed factors. For rotated names, you probably want to set axis(#arguments#,labels=FALSE) and then use text() with 'srt' (don't forget to use xpd=TRUE in text()). par(cxy) may help with positioning text relative to axis. all the best, st --- Michael Kubovy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Feb 22, 2007, at 2:56 PM, Smith, Phil ((CDC/CCID/NCIRD)) wrote: boxplot( p.prop ~ R + bins ) This command makes nice boxplot for the factor R crossed with the factor bins.

[R] question about boxplot
Here is a question from an old guy: I want to use the boxplot function as follows: boxplot( p.prop ~ R + bins ) This command makes nice boxplot for the factor R crossed with the factor bins. I am having alot of trouble getting control of the labels on the X axis. I want to control it more by specifying what the labels are, controling the 'size' of those labels (by using cex), and then control the rotation of the character strings of those labels (by using srt or crt). There is a names argument to boxplot, but I haven't had much luck controlling what it prints, the size of the font, and the character rotation. Can somebody enlighten me on how to do this? Please respond to my work email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Many thanks!

[R] question about boxplot axis
Hi: I have a question making side by side boxplot. My response is numeric and I want to make a side by side boxplot of it accroding to a factor vector. So, there are several boxplots on the same plot. Each boxplot is with respect to one level for a factor. The levels of the factor are some characters. When I make the plot, the boxplots are arranged according to the alphabetic order of the levels. My question is that how I can change the order the boxplots are arranged. For example, fac-c(a,b,c,d) boxplot(time.vec~fac,xlab=Events,ylab=Time In Days,col=yellow) Then the boxplots are arranged in the order of a,b,c,d. But for some reason, I want it to be c,a,d,b. Any suggestion about this question? thx a lot! liu zhong __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
