Hi

Im producing boxplots based on factors and rearranging them by median (This
is for a Geochemistry element). Im giving each boxplot a unique color based
on its level (factor) name.

Im trying to produce a look up list to produce these colors as the order of
the boxplots will change from element to element.

Here is by color lool up and boxplot code:

colors_list<-list("Dalradian Appin Group quartzite"="#FFFF00","Sperrins

boxplot(na.omit(C_pH$DATA.pH)~bymedian,axes=FALSE,horizontal=TRUE,col=unlist(colors_list),outwex=one,whisklty
= "solid",whisklwd=lwth,outcol= "black", outpch=dtsym,  outcex=dtsize)

However it is not reading the colors based on the color_list given here.
Anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks for your help
