Draw boxplots

Draw boxplots

circos.boxplot(value, pos, outline = TRUE, box_width = 0.6,
    col = NA, border = "black", lwd = par("lwd"), lty = par("lty"),
    cex = par("cex"), pch = 1, pt.col = par("col"),
    sector.index = get.current.sector.index(),
    track.index = get.current.track.index())

Arguments

value	A numeric vector, a matrix or a list. If it is a matrix, boxplots are made by columns (each column is a box).
pos	Positions of the boxes.
outline	Whether to draw outliers.
box_width	Width of boxes. It assumes the bars locating at x = 1, 2, ....
col	Filled color of boxes.
border	Color for the border as well as the quantile lines.
lwd	Line width.
lty	Line style
cex	Point size.
pch	Point type.
pt.col	Point color.
sector.index	Index of sector.
track.index	Index of track.

Details

Please note, the x-values of boxplots are normally integer indices. Just be careful when initializing the circular layout.

Examples

circos.initialize(letters[1:4], xlim = c(0, 10))
circos.track(ylim = c(0, 1), panel.fun = function(x, y) {
    for(pos in seq(0.5, 9.5, by = 1)) {
        value = runif(10)
        circos.boxplot(value, pos)
    }
})
circos.clear()

circos.initialize(letters[1:4], xlim = c(0, 10))
circos.track(ylim = c(0, 1), panel.fun = function(x, y) {
    value = replicate(runif(10), n = 10, simplify = FALSE)
    circos.boxplot(value, 1:10 - 0.5, col = 1:10)
})
circos.clear()
