Thank you Peter. plot.default works perfectly. I'm puzzled now with the first column of the dataframe aggr.
aggr comes from: aggr<-summarize(child65$benvii, by=child65$decedad, FUN=mean, na.rm=TRUE) If I write: > aggr[,1] [1] [65,67) 67 [68,70) [70,72) [72,74) [74,77) [77,79) [79,81) [81,84) [84,98] attr(,"label") [1] child65$decedad Levels: [65,67) 67 [68,70) [70,72) [72,74) [74,77) [77,79) [79,81) [81,84) [84,98] > aggr[,2] [65,67) 67 [68,70) [70,72) [72,74) [74,77) [77,79) [79,81) [81,84) 0.00000000 0.00000000 -0.06669137 -0.71294981 -0.59783700 -1.08334482 -1.88273125 -1.21924028 -1.94591015 [84,98] -1.65822808 attr(,"label") [1] "child65$benvii" attr(,"class") [1] "labelled" "array" So, it's like if the first column does not exist. It does not even have a name.

So what you get is really a set of parallel boxplots each based on one observation. plot.default() is one way out, but you may need to generate the x-axis labels yourself. I.e., x <- factor(LETTERS[1:10]) y <- rnorm(10) plot(x,y) plot.default(x,y) For full control, recode the factor to a numeric variable.
