Hadley makes a good point. Boxplots should be standardized. Thre is already
inconsistency in what value the "wiskers" represent.
Violin plots with means and 95% CI are a good option if you want to show the
shape of a distribution with the mean. You could add the median as well.
That's what I did
Have a look at forestplot in the rmeta package. Its not a boxplot
but does allow you to plot this sort of info and would probably
be less confusing than a non-standard boxplot.

I would suggest that you d

Another option is to modify panel.bpplot in the Hmisc package and specify
library(lattice)
bwplot(..., panel=mypanel)
Note that panel.bpplot will show the mean. It shows more quantiles than
a standard box plot so you get more than a 3-number summary.
If you show the mean and standard deviati
boxplot itself is hardwired to produce the boxplot.stats list, and that
is not easy to change.
To get a different set of stats, you would need to do things in rwo
stages:
i) create a boxplot object of the type returned by boxplot, but using
your own stats
ii) call bxp on that object.
That's kind
Use bxp() and feed it with data that is not from boxplot.stats().
Therefore you might want to invent some alternative function along the
lines of boxplot.stats().

I really like the ease of use with the boxplot command in R. I would
rather have a boxplot that shows the average value and the standard
deviation then the median value and the quartiles.
Is there a way to do this?
