[R] Overlay Boxplot with scatter plot

[hadley wickham]

This is very easy to do with ggplot:

# you need to get the development version from http://had.co.nz/ggplot:
install.packages("ggplot", dep=TRUE, repos="http://www.ggobi.org/r/")
library(ggplot)

qplot(a, factor(b), type=c("boxplot","point"))
qplot(factor(b), a, type=c("boxplot","point"))

Regards,

Hadley
