compositions (version 0.9-11)

boxplot: Displaying compositions and amounts by boxplots

Description

For the different interpretations of amount data a different type of boxplot is feasible. Thus different boxplots are drawn.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'acomp':
boxplot(x,fak=NULL,\dots,
                         xlim=x.lim,ylim=c(minq,maxq),log=TRUE,
                         panel=vp.logboxplot,dots=!boxes,boxes=TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'rcomp':
boxplot(x,fak=NULL,\dots,
                         xlim=x.lim,ylim=c(0,1),log=FALSE,
                         panel=vp.boxplot,dots=!boxes,boxes=TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'aplus':
boxplot(x,fak=NULL,\dots,log=TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'rplus':
boxplot(x,fak=NULL,\dots,ylim=c(0,max(x)),log=FALSE)
vp.boxplot(x,y,...,dots=FALSE,boxes=TRUE,xlim,ylim,log,notch=FALSE) 
vp.logboxplot(x,y,...,dots=FALSE,boxes=TRUE,xlim,ylim,log,notch=FALSE)

Arguments

x

a dataset

fak

a factor to split the dataset, not yet implemented in aplus and rplus

xlim

x-limits of the plot

ylim

y-limits of the plot

log

logical indicating whether ploting should be done on log scale

panel

the panel function to be used or a list of multiple panel functions

...

further graphical parameters

dots

a logical indicating whether the points should be drawn

boxes

a logical indicating the boxes should be drawn

y

used by pairs

notch

should the boxes be notched

Details

vp.boxplot and vp.logboxplot are only used as panel functions.
