I\'m trying to reproduce the following image image http://www.davidzeleny.net/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php/vizualizace:figures:boxplots-jitter-rdbu-colors.png?cache=

The c

Answer 1

Not the answer to the base but a ggplot approach:

ggplot(melt, aes(fill=variable, x=variable, y=value)) +
    geom_boxplot(notch = TRUE) + 
    geom_jitter(position = position_jitter(width = .05, height =0), shape=21, size=1.5) +
    scale_fill_hue(l=40) 

I couldn't figure out how to make the hue for the box fill and the point separate. Thought alpha might work but we want to change points to less intensity not more transparent. I'd appreciate an edit here for someone to fill in the missing piece.
