Create Horizontal boxplot in base R
In this method to create the horizontal bar plot, the user simply needs to call the boxplot() function which is a base function of the R language, then the user needs to call the horizontal argument of this function and initialize it with true value to get the box plot in a horizontal way.
boxplot() function: This function is used to produce box-and-whisker plot(s) of the given values.
Syntax: boxplot(formula, data = NULL, …, horizontal = TRUE)
Parameters:
- formula: a formula, such as y ~ grp, where y is a numeric vector of data values to be split into groups according to the grouping variable grp.
- data: a data.frame (or list) from which the variables in the formula should be taken.
- horizontal: logical indicating if the boxplots should be horizontal.
- … : Other parameters
Example: In this example, we are taking a data frame with 2 variables to create the horizontal boxplot of the given variable using the boxplot with a horizontal argument with it in the R programming language.
R
# Create DataFrame gfg<- data.frame (x= c (6,8,9,6,4,7,6,3,4), y= c (4,6,8,7,8,4,5,1,3)) # Create Horizontal Boxplot boxplot (gfg,horizontal= TRUE ) |
Output:
