Dear all,
I would like to (i) produce boxplot graphs with axis in logarithm in base 10
and (ii) showing the values on the axis in 10^exponent format rather than
10E+exponent.
To illustrate with an example, I have some widely spread data that I chart
plot using boxplot() [figure on the left]; the log="y" option of boxplot()
I obtained the natural logarithm conversion of the data and the unfriendly
notation baseE+exponent [figure on the centre]; if I log10 the data I obtain
the desired plot, but the axis are showing only the exponent. [figure on the
right].
Can anybody help?
Best regards
Luigi Marongiu, MSc
########### EXAMPLE ############
# generationg random numbers
x<-runif(100, min=0, max=100000)
# create plot
par(mfrow = c(1,3))
#plotting in the left side
boxplot(x, xlab="Linear values")
#plotting in the centre
boxplot(x, log = "y", xlab="y axis logged")
# creating log10 values and plotting on the right side
Log.base10.x<-log10(x)
boxplot(Log.base10.x, xlab="LOG10 of data")
