Dear all,

I would like to (i) produce boxplot graphs with axis in logarithm in base 10
and (ii) showing the values on the axis in 10^exponent format rather than
10E+exponent.

 

To illustrate with an example, I have some widely spread data that I chart
plot using  boxplot() [figure on the left]; the log="y" option of boxplot()
I obtained the natural logarithm conversion of the data and the unfriendly
notation baseE+exponent [figure on the centre]; if I log10 the data I obtain
the desired plot, but the axis are showing only the exponent. [figure on the
right]. 

 

Can anybody help?

 

Best regards

########### EXAMPLE ############

# generationg random numbers

x<-runif(100, min=0, max=100000)

 

# create plot

par(mfrow = c(1,3))

 

#plotting in the left side

boxplot(x, xlab="Linear values")

 

#plotting in the centre

boxplot(x, log = "y", xlab="y axis logged")

 

# creating log10 values and plotting on the right side 

Log.base10.x<-log10(x)

boxplot(Log.base10.x, xlab="LOG10 of data")
