David,

my.boxplot.stats is modified from boxplot.stats (package grDevices) as follows. x is the original argument, I guess it's the data object for processing. I only added "type". Thanks.

Right, but you should be assigning stats=my.boxplot.stats, not stats=myboxplot.stats(type=6). The functions then pick up their arguments from their environment.

(And learn to send plain text. It is very easy to do so in gmail.)

Dear all,

I constructed this function called my.boxplot.stats by replacing fivnum() with quantile() in function boxplot.stats(). So I can try different quantile methods in bwplot(). The problem is I couldn't pass different values to the
"type" argument to my.boxplot.stats, which in turn is an argument in
bwplot(). Now I just have to manually change the "type" value in
my.boxplot.stats. What I would like to do is call bwplot() like

bwplot(CL~DOSE,data=patab,stats=my.boxplot.stats(type=7)),


You have defined a function with an argument of x that does not have a default value, so it throws an error when you call it with no value for x. (It's not complaining about the type argument.)

But I got an error:
Error in my.boxplot.stats(type = 7) : element 1 is empty;
 the part of the args list of 'is.na' being evaluated was:
 (x)

Thanks a lot.
