Felix Andrews just today posted an answer to a question on filling the bwplot rectangles with color and using a line instead of a dot for the median.

I think you will find it difficult to get the hatching for two related reasons, one aesthetic and the other the fact that patterns are not readily available. The second reason probably stems from aesthetic sensibilities of the graphics experts and the influence of Tufte and Cleveland in trying to eliminate the "chartjunk" fostered by Excel.

Hi All,

I'm familiar with bwplot() in lattice package. Is it possible to get such a
boxplot using lattice package:

instead of the following default:

My aim is to get a compact boxplot for publication. Having legend can help because otherwise x-axis labels are repeated for each rectanglular box.

Thanks,
