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) })
