Quantlet:		grboxcl
Description:		generates a boxplot of classified data with mean line and median line. Outliers outside the interval [Q_25-3IQR, Q_75+3IQR] will be plotted as crosses, outliers ouside the interval [Q_25-1.5IQR, Q_75+1.5IQR] will be plotted as circles.

Usage:	`bp = grboxcl(gr, fr{, col})`
Input:
	`gr`	m x n grid matrix, each column must be ordered ascendently
	`fr`	(m-1) x n matrix of frequencies for each interval in each column
	`col`	(optional), color of the boxplot
Output:
	`bp`	composed graphical object

Note:

Each column of the gr matrix represents a grid (must be ordered ascendently) and each corresponding column of fr matrix represents the numbers of observations in the corresponding intervals (given by gr matrix). E.g., for gr=#(1,2,3)~#(10,15,20) and fr=#(7,4)~#(14,16) the first dataset contains 7 observations in the interval [1,2) and 4 observations in the interval [2,3). The same is true for the second column. The representative for each interval is the mean of its boundaries.

Example:

library("graphic") library("stats") randomize(666) ; make 15 random intervals gr = sort(normal(5)|5+normal(5)|10+normal(5),0) fr = ceil(20*uniform(14)) bp = grboxcl(gr,fr,4) d = createdisplay(1,1) show(d, 1, 1, bp)

Result:

shows a red boxplot
