Grouping boxplot matlab

matlab

Solution

You need a double grouping variable:

boxplot(D, {reshape(repmat('A':'F',2,1),12,1) repmat((1:2)',6,1)} ,'factorgap',10,'color','rk')

Centering the labels is quite impractical and nightmerish.

Problem

I have x=rand(1000,6); y=rand(1000,6); D(:,1:2:12)=x; D(:,2:2:12)=y; I would like to plot a grouped `boxplot` where x(:,i) and y(:,i) are grouped boxplots (or factor pairs). But can't seem to work out how to specify the groupings. Thus: ``` figure('color',[1,1,1]); boxplot(D,'factorgap',10,'color','rk') axis([0 25 -1 5]) set(gca,'xtick',1.8:4.3:50) set(gca,'ytick',0:10) set(gca,'xticklabel',{'Direct care','Housekeeping','Mealtimes','Medication','Miscellaneous','Personal care'}) ylabel('Normalised Y'); legend(findobj(gca,'Tag','Box'),'HBN04-01 multibed','YAB single ') ``` But it looks a bit untidy, how do I get the gaps between pairs of boxplots larger?
