Hi all, I have 6 datasets(dataframes Assem_ContigsLen7 through all_ContigsLen12) containing 3 columns (contig_id, contig_length, read_count).
Each dataset is composed of 3 types of contigs (assemblies of genomic fragments), 1- all Bacterial fragments, 2 - all Viral fragments, 3 - mixed fragments. I identified the type of contig through a merge with another table with just contig_id and contig_type as below: AssemViral_ContigsLen<-merge(Assem_ContigsLen,allViral_contigs,by.x="contig_id",by.y="X.Contid.ID",all.x=FALSE) Below is a boxplot for boxplot(Assem_ContigsLen7$length,Assem_ContigsLen8$length,Assem_ContigsLen9$length,Assem_ContigsLen10$length,Assem_ContigsLen11$length,Assem_ContigsLen12$length,main="100species_rep2",ylab="Contig_length") All of the longer contigs in the sixth data set are allViral. How can I colour or label these? I tried overlaying 2 boxplots of different colours (using add=TRUE), but the individual points of the whiskers aren't coloured (and I can't figure out how to do so) I experimented with using points, but there isn't a general function that I can apply to all 6 datasets to identify the allViral contigs. specific questions; 1 -how can I color the data points that represent the whiskers in a boxplot? 2 - Can I identify and colour subsets of datapoints within a boxplot? 3- any other suggestions? Thank you, Alison ______________________________________________ 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.
