String labels on boxplot outliers
- by Benoît Collette
Hi!
I want to put string labels on outliers in a boxplot.
Here's a simplification of the dataset I'm using:
[,x] [,y] [,z]
7 2 a
10 2 b
112 3 c
boxdata<-boxplot(x ~ y)
To put values as label on outliers by group, I use this function:
for(i in 1:length(boxdata$group)){
text(boxdata$group[i], boxdata$out[i], which(x==boxdata$out[i]),labels=boxdata$out[i],pos=4)
}
The problem is that I want to put z (string) as label instead of outlier value, but I don't know how to proceed. What do I need to do?
Thank you!
Ben
