Hi
I wanted to have a boxplot for a poster with different datasets which are divided in different clusters. Now the code works fine, but the boxes are too small for the poster. I tried different things but did not succeed. Could anyone help me please? I'm so lost.
This is the coresponding code:
cluster1 = [1,127; 1,187; 2,144; 2,205; 3,155; 3,229];
cluster2 = [1,66; 1,127; 2,81; 2,144; 3,79; 3,155];
cluster3 = [1,0; 1,66 ;2,0; 2,81; 3,0; 3,79];
boxplot(cluster3(:,2),cluster3(:,1),'PlotStyle','compact','colors', 'r');
hold on
boxplot(cluster2(:,2),cluster2(:,1),'PlotStyle','compact','colors', 'g');
hold on
boxplot(cluster1(:,2),cluster1(:,1),'PlotStyle','compact','colors', 'b');
Thanks a lot!

You chose the "compact" plot style. Do you prefer this version, which is the default (non-compact)?
Also, are you sure you are plotting how you want, to best show your data? First, your cluster3 doesn't show up at all. Second, a box plot is not very appropriate when you just have two data points in each cluster.
