Looks like you're just missing the 'add=TRUE' argument; see below.

Hi, I am new in R and would like to dot plot my real data points from different categories and put box plot overlapping. To give a feeling of the distribution of my data and the real values. I managed to that in excel but it takes a lot of time and it makes the program crash quite often! http://n4.nabble.com/file/n2134530/Excelversion.jpg I managed to get a box plot and a dot plot of my three categories that look like http://n4.nabble.com/file/n2134530/Rplot_boxplot.jpg http://n4.nabble.com/file/n2134530/Rplot_dotplot.jpg but cannot plot them one on top of the other. Any suggestion would be really apreciated!! I would also like to color only the dots and leave the box plot 'transparent' as in the excel version, tips on that are also welcome! Thanks a lot in advance ADM
Maybe something like this: boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, outpch = NA) stripchart(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, vertical = TRUE, method = "jitter", pch = 21, col = "maroon", bg = "bisque", add = TRUE) (Setting 'outpch = NA' avoids plotting outliers.) -Peter Ehlers ______________________________________________ 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.
