Sherri; The boxplot stats include outlier values in $out and their group number in $group.
Let me assume that you want to put the boxes at integer positions on the x-axis (the default is the same). The we have y<-rnorm(60) g<-gl(3,20) labels=paste("Value", 1:length(y)) bx<-boxplot(y~g) bx.at<-1:3 bx<-boxplot(y~g, at=bx.at) for(i in unique(bx$group)) { text(bx.at[i], m<-max(bx$out[bx$group==i]), labels[which(y==m)], pos=4) } #We could possibly use tapply to label the outliers by group, but this for loop labels the maximum outlier. #This toy version will do that if the outliers are below the box too, which is silly, #so you'll need to finagle it a bit to get the 'outermost' outlier labelled. >>> Sherri Heck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/09/2008 22:37 >>> Hi All- I have 24 boxplots on one graph. I do not have the whiskers extending to the outliers, but I would like to label the maximum value of each outlier above the whiskers. I have the stats but am having trouble figuring out how to label the whiskers. Any suggestions would be great! sherri ______________________________________________ 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. ******************************************************************* This email and any attachments are confidential.
