Fantastic - that does the trick! Easy when you know how!!
Follow-on: is there a way feed all the lists from ds2 to vioplot? It is now a
series of lists (rather than a dataframe - is that right?). So this works,
library(vioplot)
ds1 = read.csv("http://www.lecturematerials.co.uk/data/spelling.csv";)
ds2 <- lapply( ds1, na.omit)
vioplot(ds2$y1,ds2$y2)
but this doesnt
library(vioplot)
ds1 = read.csv("http://www.lecturematerials.co.uk/data/spelling.csv";)
ds2 <- lapply( ds1, na.omit)
vioplot(ds2)

The original code *should* have worked as the csv was online. There doesnt seem
to be any option in vioplot to add the sample size (these are all small samples
which I wanted to highlight) so I dont know if this is easily done elsewhere.
Thanks again!!
