It will be useful if you could explain the how to use the weighted boxplot function. The manual does not give details. I have not been able to make it work. Specifically, how does one write the function? Vikas On Wed, Feb 07, 2007 at 07:12:26AM -0600, hadley wickham wrote: Hi Vikas,

Hi Vikas, Exactly what do you want to label them with? Generally the purpose of the plot is to avoid having explicit labels - you can just read the numbers of the axes. If you want the exact numbers, presenting them in a table might be more appropriate. I'm not at my development computer at

How can I superimpose some text labels on ggplot? I could get weighted quantiles using wtd.quantiles function in Hmisc package. But I can't plot these as labels on the boxplot. My code is as follows. list(c(1:3),c(1:3),c(1:3))-t library(Hmisc) for (i in 1:3) {

Hi, Let me first congratulate you for having written the reshape package. It is very nice and I use it all the time. I wish the documentation was a bit easier. It took me quite some time to find my way through it!! But once I got the hang of how it worked, I just loved it. With ggplot, this is

I need to make weighted boxplots. I found that ggplot makes them. I would however like to label them with the boxplot statistics (the median, q1 and q3). In the boxplot function in r-base, I could output boxplot statistics and then write a text on the plot to place the labels. How would one do it
