I have data with columns for animal ID, breed, and weight.
I'd like to create a box plot of weight, separated by breed (there are 4
breeds).

Any ideas?

  1. Did you check the help page: ?boxplot

Here's a sample of the data (there are 100 rows):

id      weight  breed
1       453     brahman
2       527     brahman
3       520     brahman
4       460     brahman
5       496     brahman
6       461     brahman
7       519     brahman
8       472     brahman
9       531     brahman
10      473     brahman
11      509     brahman
12      503     brahman

  B. Perhaps something like this?

  boxplot(weight ~ breed)

  Look at the use of a formula when plotting.

  If I misread your intent I apologize.

HTH,

Rich
