[R] boxplot statistics in ggplot

[hadley wickham]

Hi Vikas,

Exactly what do you want to label them with?  Generally the purpose of
the plot is to avoid having explicit labels - you can just read the
numbers of the axes.  If you want the exact numbers, presenting them
in a table might be more appropriate.

I'm not at my development computer at the moment, so I can't give you
the exact details, but you will have to calculate the statistics
yourself (using the weighted boxplot function in ggplot) and add them
to the plot in some way.  This should be a bit easier in the next
version of ggplot, where the calculation and display are a little more
distinct.
