boxplot: Box plots

In Bioconductor/BiocGenerics: S4 generic functions used in Bioconductor

Box plots

Description

Produce box-and-whisker plot(s) of the given (grouped) values.

NOTE: This man page is for the boxplot S4 generic function defined in the BiocGenerics package. See ?graphics::boxplot for the default method (defined in the graphics package). Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects not supported by the default method.

Usage

boxplot(x, ...)

Arguments

x, ...

See ?graphics::boxplot.

Value

See ?graphics::boxplot for the value returned by the default method.

Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages should behave as consistently as possible with the default method.

See Also

• graphics::boxplot for the default boxplot method.

• showMethods for displaying a summary of the methods defined for a given generic function.

• selectMethod for getting the definition of a specific method.

• boxplot,AffyBatch-method in the affy package for an example of a specific boxplot method (defined for AffyBatch objects).

• BiocGenerics for a summary of all the generics defined in the BiocGenerics package.

Examples

boxplot
showMethods("boxplot")
selectMethod("boxplot", "ANY")  # the default method

library(affy)
showMethods("boxplot")
## The boxplot() method for AffyBatch objects:
selectMethod("boxplot", "AffyBatch")
