[R] Specifying data point locations on x-axis using boxplot() and points()

[Kota Hattori]

Hi all,

I would like to ask a question with regard to R graphics. I am currently
trying to add data points in boxplots using points(). In my script, I add
up boxplots three times using add=TRUE. I use points() every time I add
boxplots, and I see data points. However, I see all data points are clustered
at three specific points on x-axis; the locations of the data points
are not overlapping with intended boxplots. This is because I use
"at" in boxplot(). Is there any way that I can specify the locations of the
data points on x-axis? It would be great if there is something like
"at" in points(). Thank you for your help.

Cheers,
Kota

The following is my script.


boxplot(F2.E$D.value ~ F2.E$consonant,
	main = "F2",
	ylim = c(-4,10),
	ylab = "Sensitivity (d')",
	xlab = "Discrimination Type",
	names = (c("E","E","E")),
	col = "light grey",
	border = "grey",
	boxwex = 0.2,
	at = 1:3 - 0.27
	)

points(jitter(rep(1:3, each = 8),0.1),
		unlist(split(F2.E$D.value,F2.E$consonant)),		
		cex = 0.5, 
		pch = 16)


boxplot(F2.J.pre$D.value ~ F2.J.pre$consonant,
	add = TRUE,
	col = "light grey",
	border = "grey",
	names = (c("J Pre","J Pre","J pre")),
	boxwex = 0.2,
	at = 1:3 - 0)

points(jitter(rep(1:3, each = 28), 0.1),
		unlist(split(F2.J.pre$D.value,F2.J.pre$consonant)),		
		cex = 0.5,
		col = "blue",
		pch = 16)

boxplot(F2.J.post$D.value ~ F2.J.post$consonant,
	add = TRUE,
	col = "light grey",
	border = "grey",
	names = (c("J Post","J Post","J Post")),
	boxwex = 0.2,
	at = 1:3 + 0.27)

points(jitter(rep(1:3, each = 28), 0.1),
		unlist(split(F2.J.post$D.value,F2.J.post$consonant)),		
		cex = 0.5,
		col = "green", 
		pch = 16)
