Removing the frame from the Boxplot() function in R

Does someon开发者_高级运维e know how to remove the frame when producing a boxplot with the R boxplot() function?

With the plot() function there is an optinal argument, frame=F, that does the job... but it is not included in the boxplot() function...

Thank you very much!

Use the option frame=F (or frame.plot=F) in the boxplot function :

boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray",frame=F)

Other parameters that can be used in the boxplot function are (rather inconveniently) listed on the helppage of ?bxp, which is the underlying function of boxplot()

You can do this with bty in par. Using an example from the boxplot help:

par(bty='n')
boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray")

boxplot() seems to accept the frame argument just fine.

 boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray")
 #vs    
 boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray", frame = FALSE)

Here is the easiest solution. Just set axes = 0

boxplot(runif(100), axes = 0)
