I will show you how to do it using ggplot2 and the forcats packages which are developed by Hadely Wickham. Read his new R for data science book: http://r4ds.had.co.nz/factors.html head(iris) Sepal. https://divingintogeneticsandgenomics.com/archive/how-to-make-a-box-plot-with-jittered-points-for-multiple-groups/ Thu, 05 Nov 2015 14:17:00 -0800 https://divingintogeneticsandgenomics.com/archive/how-to-make-a-box-plot-with-jittered-points-for-multiple-groups/ Make a box-plot with jittered points for multiple groups using ggplot2 Let me demonstrate it with an example. Use the ToothGrowth data set in the ggplot2 library library(ggplot2) ggplot(ToothGrowth, aes(x=as.factor(dose), y=len, color=supp)) + geom_boxplot(position=position_dodge(0.9))+ geom_jitter(position=position_dodge(0.9)) + xlab("dose") I want to make the points separate from each other rather than on the same vertical line. ggplot(ToothGrowth, aes(x= as.factor(dose), y=len, color= supp,fill= supp)) + geom_point(position=position_jitterdodge(dodge.width=0.9)) + geom_boxplot(fill="white", alpha=0.1, outlier.colour = NA, position = position_dodge(width=0.
