Pretty much all plotting routines (base, lattice, gpplot2) use the levels as the ordering principle: levels(MSAmmonia$Well) <- levels(MSAmmonia$Well)[c(1,6,2:5)] > plot(MSAmmonia, notch=TRUE, ylab = "Ammonia (mg/L)", cex = > 1,col=(c("green","White","White","white","white","green"))) > legend("topleft", inset=.002, title="Gradient", > c("Up","Down"), fill=terrain.colors(2), horiz=TRUE, cex = 0.7,) > title(main="Lower Mudstone Ammonia Box Plots") > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > You should learn to post in plain text. > ______________________________________________ > 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.
