boxplot without whiskers and out points

Question

Anyone knows how to eliminate the max and min bar in a R boxplot? I tried the command above but it did not work.

boxplot(rnorm(0:200), main="abundances", xlab="Samples", ylab="Phylum abundance (%)", header=TRUE, cex=1, ylim=c(-5,4.), notch=F)

Thank you

Answer 1

you can add the staplewex and whisklty parameter to the baseplot like this:

boxplot(rnorm(0:200), main="abundances", xlab="Samples", ylab="Phylum abundance (%)", header=TRUE, cex=1, ylim=c(-5,4.), notch=F, 
        staplewex = 0,       # remove horizontal whisker lines
        outline = F,         # remove outlying points
        whisklty = 0,        # remove vertical whisker lines
        staplecol = "white", # just to be totally sure :)
        whiskcol = "white"   # dito
        )
