[R] Adding horizontal lines to Boxplot

[Frede Aakmann Tøgersen]

If you carefully read the man for boxplot (?boxplot) you can see in the examples that you can put in a ylim as an argument to the boxplot function:
 
boxplot(3:5, 2:4,4:6, ylim = c(0, 8))

See also ?bxp.

best regards

Frede

	So where is the reproducable example?
	
	How can we know that you're not doing
	
	boxplot(1:10)
	abline(h = 400, col = "red")?
	
	best regards

You are right, a  reproducable example  should have been there. 

I don't know what I mistyped but  I got to work and here is an example that works,

boxplot(3.2:5.2, 1.9:3.9,3.9:5.9)
abline(h = 4)
abline(h = 2.5, col = "green")
abline(h = 2, col = "red") 
abline(h = 5.5, col = "green")
abline(h = 6, col = "red")

I also tested with the lwd parameter of the abline

 boxplot(3:5, 2:4,4:6)
 abline(h = 4)
 abline(h = 2.5, col = "red", lwd = 2)
 abline(h = 5.5, col = "red", lwd = 2)


Is it possible to scale the size of the boxplot, so that scale on the Y axis is say from 0 to 8 instead of 2 to 6 as it is in the example from above.
