## Shane, ## This uses your color_list. Your other variables weren't included in the email ## so I invented some data.
## I recommend bwplot() using panel=panel.bwplot.superpose ## and I also show how to use boxplot() ## install.packages("HH") ## if necessary. library(HH) ## install.packages("reshape2") ## if necessary. library(reshape2) ## you didn't include data, so I am making up some data pH <- data.frame(matrix(rnorm(200), 10, 20)) bwplot(value ~ variable, data=melt(pH), col=unlist(colors_list), panel=panel.bwplot.superpose, groups=variable) boxplot(value ~ variable, data=melt(pH), col=unlist(colors_list)) ## Rich On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 5:50 AM, Shane Carey <careys...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > Im producing boxplots based on factors and rearranging them by median (This > is for a Geochemistry element).
