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? If I am not wrong, boxplot() does not accept these values as parameters. Cheers, Dave [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
If you use ggplot2, you can specify the aesthetics lower, upper, middle, ymin, and ymax directly to variables in geom_boxplot. Just be sure to set stat="identity" so that it does not try to summarize your data again.
