Sorry to keep bothering you all. Phil's easy fix got my code working and I have my graphic.
Just for my education: Is there a SIMPLE way to verify/ensure that the ordering of the data is the same in both dataframes? Is this done within the plotting routines, or is it usually as a data checking process before data analysis? ============================================== boxplot(ObsRpdData) points(1:length(EstRpdData),EstRpdData, pch=16, col="red) =============================================== Robert Farley Metro www.Metro.net -----Original Message----- From: Farley, Robert Sent: Friday, August 07, 2009 15:56 To: 'Phil Spector' Subject: RE: [R] Simple Question: adding points to a boxplot Whoo-hoo, I get the points!
