Dear r-helpers,
tst <- data.frame(as.numeric(x <- 1:20), f <- rep(c('hi','lo'), times
= 10))
with(tst, bwplot(f ~ x, panel = function(x, y){panel.bwplot(x, y, pch
= '|', stats = boxplot.stats, fill = 8, varwidth = T)}))
I can't figure out from the documentation how to tell stats that I
would like to see notches or (even bands).
Here is what I've done. (By the way, there is something about the
style of R documentation that has --- more than once --- led me to
these kinds of problems.)
RSiteSearch('bwplot notch') gives me nothing (as well as other
similar queries).
xyplot {lattice} tells me about panel.bwplot, but does not illustrate
its use.
panel.bwplot {lattice} tells me about the fact that the default
setting of stats to boxplot.stats, but doesn't give an example.
boxplot.stats {grDevices} tells me that the default setting is
do.conf = TRUE, which I gathered meant that notches would be computed
and hence plotted.
Does anyone have advice about how I could have gone about finding out
how to do this (preferably from documentation rather than reading code)?
