I managed to solve the problem myself using: q=sort(unique(foram$stage[which(foram$length>0)])) boxplot(foram$logl~foram$stage, data=foram, outline=F, at=q, axes=TRUE, add=TRUE, col="gray82", medlwd=1) points(foram$stage,foram$logl, cex=.1) However, for future reference since this was my first post and I was trying to give code like you requested, what did I do wrong?
For the benefit of other new useRs: *reproducible* means that others can plug the code into their R session and run it. This line in your original post: emdata<-read.table(file="#a file in my working directory", sep=",", header=T) can't be run; all of your subsequent code depends on this. Moreover, *minimal* means that you remove all unnecessary frills such as specifying colour, x/ylab, main, etc. and just focus on what you need solved. Use simple names for your variables. It seems that all too often posters don't bother to simplify their code. Quite frequently, the process of simplifying your code will lead you to the solution you seek. At the very least, it will improve the chances that someone will look at your problem. As a new useR, here are two very useful functions to investigate: dput() and str(). One can also often use built-in datasets or modify examples from the help pages to illustrate the problem. It would also be a good thing to acquire the habit of using TRUE and FALSE instead of T and F. I'm happy that you've solved your problem yourself. That's always most satisfying. And don't let my inbred curmudgeonliness prevent you from asking again when the need arises. -Peter Ehlers ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
