如何在R中创建分组箱线图?

当数据位于 长的 格式虎钳 宽的 . 从向量开始:

DF2 <- data.frame(
  x = c(c(A1, A2, A3), c(B1, B2, B3)),
  y = rep(c("A", "B"), each = 15),
  z = rep(rep(1:3, each=5), 2),
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
str(DF2)
# 'data.frame': 30 obs. of  3 variables:
#  $ x: num  1 2 9 6 4 5 1 9 2 3 ...
#  $ y: chr  "A" "A" "A" "A" ...
#  $ z: int  1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 ...

cols <- rainbow(3, s = 0.5)
boxplot(x ~ z + y, data = DF2,
        at = c(1:3, 5:7), col = cols,
        names = c("", "A", "", "", "B", ""), xaxs = FALSE)
legend("topleft", fill = cols, legend = c(1,2,3), horiz = T)

使用 at 手动控制放置,因此“视觉分组”不是很可靠。(您可以使用 width 和/或 boxwex .)

你也可以选择 ggplot2 :

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(DF2, aes(y, x, fill=factor(z))) +
  geom_boxplot()

你应该使用 ggplot2

ggplot() + 
  geom_boxplot(data = df, mapping = aes(col_name, value, fill=index))  + 
  theme( axis.text.x = element_blank()) +
  geom_segment(data=hline1, mapping=aes(x=1, y=-0.5, xend=3, yend=-0.5), size=2) +
  annotate("text", x = 2, y = -1, label = "A") + 
  geom_segment(data=hline1, mapping=aes(x=4, y=-0.5, xend=6, yend=-0.5), size=2) +
  annotate("text", x = 5, y = -1, label = "B")

使用R基,我认为@r2evans解是最好的。然而,使用该选项更容易修复问题中的代码 xaxt="n" :

boxplot(DF, col = rainbow(3, s = 0.5), at = c(1:3,5:7), xaxt = "n")
axis(side = 1, at = c(2,6), labels = c("A","B"))
legend("topleft", fill = rainbow(3, s = 0.5), legend = c(1,2,3), horiz = T)

这增加了轴格式设置的灵活性。
