Hi Dave, You can look at the function ?bxp it might work for you. Alternately, create a meaningless boxplot object, and then just edit that data, in which case I know it will work with bxp().
# Create a boxplot, the data does not matter x <- boxplot(1:10) x # view the data for the boxplot x$stats <- c() # put the stats here, min Q1, median, Q3, max # or hinges or whatever you like x$n <- c() # the number of observations, though you do not need to change this bxp(x) # plot boxplot with updated info HTH, Josh On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 8:46 AM, David A. <dasol...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Dear list, > > I am using a external program that outputs Q1, Q3, median, upper and lower > whisker values for various datasets simultaneously in a tab delimited format. > After importing this text file into R, I would like to plot a boxplot using > these given values and not the original series of data points, i.e. not using > something like boxplot(mydata). > > Is there an easy way for doing this?
