[Gretl-users] Violin plot with box plot

some time back, Jack helped me produce a violin plot and suggested to make a function of it. Now I am trying to do so. However, I would like to add a box-plot "within" the violin, because the extreme points (e.g.) are not correctly displayed in a violin plot. See here for an original gnuplot examples: http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_cvs/violinplot.html The "template" script I have attached is working for generating a box-plot or a violin plot, but I have no idea how I can merge them. Any idea? Is it possible to somehow "see" the internals of the boxplot function? For then I should be able to copy & paste things such that it works. ------------- For what I understand from the example provided by gnuplot doc they actually re-plot the box images over the violin ones. ################gnuplot code######################### set title 'Superimposed violin plot and box plot' set style fill solid bo -1 set boxwidth 0.075 set errorbars lt black lw 1 replot $viol2 using (1):2 with boxplot fc "white" lw 2, \ $viol1 using (3):2 with boxplot fc "white" lw ########################################################### Great idea with the package! Mihai -------------------- Yes, I know that. But I do not know how to make that work in gretl... Also there is another problem, regarding the "scaling" of the violin plots. Has anybody a nice idea of how to scale the plots relatively to each other, such that they are sufficiently bound in the x dimension (say, between +- 0.9 relative to the origin)? Attached is a new version with a working function and a test package, as far as I am...
