Hi, Try this: dat1<- read.table(text=" V1 V2 V3 1 Dosis Gewicht Geschlecht 2 0 6.62 m 3 0 6.65 m 4 0 5.78 m 5 0 5.63 m 6 1 6.78 m 7 1 6.45 m 8 1 5.68 m 9 1 5.89 m 10 0 6.72 f 11 0 6.75 f 12 0 5.89 f 13 0 5.78 f 14 1 6.89 f 15 1 7.75 f 16 1 4.89 f 17 1 5.89 f ",header=TRUE,sep="",stringsAsFactors=FALSE) dat2<-dat1[-1,] boxplot(as.numeric(dat2$V2)[dat2$V3=="m"])# works dat2$V2<- as.numeric(dat2$V2) library(ggplot2) library(plyr) library(reshape2) dat2New<-mutate(melt(dat2,id.var=c("V1","V3")),combin= as.character(interaction(V1,V3,sep="_"))) ggplot(dat2New,aes(x=combin,y=value))+geom_boxplot() #or ggplot(dat2New,aes(x=combin,y=value))+geom_boxplot()+facet_wrap(~V3,scales="free_x",ncol=2) A.K.
----- Original Message ----- From: maggy yan <kiot...@gmail.com> To: R-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2013 11:40 AM Subject: [R] boxplot with grouped variables my dataset looked like this in the beginning: >Daten V1 V2 V3 1 Dosis Gewicht Geschlecht 2 0 6.62 m 3 0 6.65 m 4 0 5.78 m 5 0 5.63 m I need box plots for V2 with all combination of V1 and V3, so I deleted the first row, and tried this: boxplot(Daten$V2[Daten$V3=="m"]) but it does not work and I have no clue what I did wrong. I'm thankful for any help!
