Errorbar won't change its width

[ffsa...@gmail.com]

I have noticed that erroerbar in Deducer won't change the width in the options tab at least when using it with the boxplot drop down menu. Is this a bug need to be fixed?

thanks in advance

Are you creating an error bar or a boxplot? The width in the boxplot
option controls the width of the box, not of the lines (which can be
changed with size.

I am trying to create an error bar along with another layer of boxplot. Boxplot width can be changed through options and then width. However, the width of the error bar won't change no matter what width you set for it ! At the end you will get for example a narrow boxplot with disporoptionately wide error bars (like a dwarf wearing giant's boots). there should be someway to change the width of the error bars out there. Thanks in advance

There is. it is labeled "width" in the error bar dialog. set it to the
same number as in your boxplot dialog.

yes it is there but it doesn't work as expected, did that work with you? another request please if I want to install the latest JGR version 1.7 for windows I unzipped the tar.gz file with the freeware  7-zip software but what to do next I am stuck there, I couldn't find any further help in the internet and besides I couldn't find any documentation about that either.


best regards

It does work for me. But the width of the error bar should be less
than the width of the boxplot, in order to have a more "proportional"
aspect.

It's not necessary to download the source. The easy way is: open a
"raw" R session from the command line (without JGR), and run:

update.packages("JGR")

It's important that JGR is not loaded in that session before you
update the package, otherwise it won't be installed.
