Hello,<br>
As I stated yesterday, instead of passing in 5 values per box as the
documentation states is required, you are passing in 365 values.
The box plot function wants 5 values in ascending order as is stated
in the documentation and as is shown in example #1 here:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/box.shtml#ex1">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/box.shtml#ex1</a><br>
<br>
Modifying some coding from example #1 to simplify it:<br>
<pre>yval = new((/2,5/),"float",-999.)
yval(0,0) = -3.
yval(0,1) = -1.
yval(0,2) = 1.5
yval(0,3) = 4.2
yval(0,4) = 6.
yval(1,0) = -1.
yval(1,1) = 0.
yval(1,2) = 1.
yval(1,3) = 2.5
yval(1,4) = 4.
wks = gsn_open_wks("ps","box")
x = (/-3., -1./)
plot = boxplot(wks,x,yval,False,False,False)
</pre>
<p>Note that for box #1 and #2, the values are increasing within the
yval (0,:) and yval(1,:) arrays. The boxplot function simply plots
boxes given the input y array values <i>in the order they are
present in the y array</i>.<br>
</p>
I am not sure what the data in the file you attached is supposed to
represent:<br>
<pre wrap="">9.75 24 9.375 9 8.25 5.25 12.375 24 11.625
4.125 14.625 12 10.125 8.625 11.25 12 12.375 11.625
7.5 17.625 12.375 8.625 13.5 10.5 10.875 17.25 12
9.375 24.375 9.375 9.375 17.25 13.125 22.5 13.875 9.375
6.75 23.25 11.25 11.25 11.25 11.25 29.625 19.875 16.125
3.75 28.5 10.125 8.625 14.25 10.5 21.75 16.5 6
4.5 26.625 9.375 5.625 10.5 9.375 13.875 14.25 13.125
4.875 13.875 12.375 6 12.75 14.625 18.375 18.375 10.875
</pre>
I ran your code on the input data, and I got the plot that I
attached. Looking at your input data/coding, you are passing these
values in as box #1: 9.75, 4.125, 7.5, 9.375, and 6.75. Looking at
the first box plot in the attached box.png, those values are the
ones that are being used to draw the box. If you wanted boxplot to
draw each boxplot as you desire, you would have to input the values
<i>in ascending order</i>. For instance, box #1's values would have
to be 4.125, 6.75, 7.5, 9.375, and 9.75.<br>
<br>
Please look at boxplot example #1 and try modifying/running it so
you can further understand how the boxplot function works. Adam<br>
