txtboxplot: Text based boxplot

In txtplot: Text Based Plots

Description

Produces rudimentary ascii boxplots. The boxplot statistics are produced using the boxplot.stats function.

Usage

txtboxplot(..., range = 1.5, legend = NULL, xlab = NULL,
           width = round(options()$width * 0.8))

Arguments

...	Numeric vectors for which a boxplot should be produced
range	This determines how far the plot whiskers extend out from the box. See boxplot.stats and the coef function for details.
legend	Logical determining whether a legend should be drawn. If legend is NULL there will be a legend drawn in case there is more than one boxplot.
xlab	label for x-axis of boxplot, if NULL no x-label will be plotted
width	Width of the plot

Note

Due to rounding to a relatively crude grid results can only be approximate. E.g. the equally spaced axis ticks may be non-equally spaced in the plot.
