I see that you have used add = TRUE in the boxplot call. Add only makes sense if there is already a plot to which to add the boxplot. But your boxplot is first, so there isn't anything to add it to.
Try doing the beeswarm plot first? Will the two plots will have the same y axis ranges? Minor notes: you don't need both as.is and stringsAsFactors in read.csv read.csv by definition uses sep=','; you do not need to specify it. If you want better help do the following: supply example data (use the "dput" function) saying it doesn't work is not enough -- describe how it did not work, and include error messages, if any read the Posting Guide (link at the bottom of every email on R-help) -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 On 9/24/15, 12:27 AM, "R-help on behalf of Julia89" <r-help-boun...@r-project.org on behalf of julias...@gmx.net> wrote: >Hi everybody, >I'm new and i need help very fast. >I will make a transparent boxplot overlap a beeswarm. >I don't want to use ggplot2, i will use ggplot. >Here is my own script but it doesn't worked. >Maybe you can help me. >Thanks in advance >Julia > >require(beeswarm)#rohdaten boxplots > >rm(list=ls()) >setwd("C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/jbellsta/Desktop/Paper") > >#read data >data = >read.csv(file="HypocotylCellLength.csv",stringsAsFactors=FALSE,header=TRUE >, >as.is=TRUE, sep=",") >str(data) >attach(data) > > >#schreibe gröÃten wert in Variable L.max >L.max <- max(LengthMM) > >boxplot(LengthMM ~ Label, >boxwex=.3, >outline=F, >add=T, >ylim=c(0, L.max)) > >beeswarm(LengthMM ~ Label, # Datenpunkte LengthMM~Label >pch = 20, >cex= .6, >spacing = .3, >method =c("swarm"), >col= c('grey') >) > > > > > > >-- >View this message in context: >http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/boxplot-overlap-beeswarm-tp4712727.html >Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > >______________________________________________ >R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see >https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help >PLEASE do read the posting guide >http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html >and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
