It would seem that simply running the boxplot on the relevent numbers will give you a boxplot (Assuming you are not beyond the fences).
set.seed(10) x = rnorm(100) boxplot(x) boxplot(summary(x)[-4]) # If beyond the fences - it won't work set.seed(10) x = c(rnorm(100), 10) boxplot(x) boxplot(summary(x)[-4]) Cheers, Tal ----------------Contact Details:------------------------------------------------------- Contact me: tal.gal...@gmail.com | 972-52-7275845 Read me: www.talgalili.com (Hebrew) | www.biostatistics.co.il (Hebrew) | www.r-statistics.com (English) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 3:05 PM, Matthew Vernon <m.c.ver...@warwick.ac.uk>wrote: > Hi, > > Is it possible to produce box-and-whisker plots given that I have the > median, interquartile and 5/95th centile values, but not the data from > which they come?
