This example appeared in the R Graphics Cookbook, or at least that’s where I found it. It is here so that automated description of graphs by BrailleR can be demonstrated.


The data used is from an experiment which provided two different supplements at four different doses to some rats. The amount of their tooth growth was thought to be of interest.

ggplot(ToothGrowth, aes(x = supp, y = len)) +
  geom_boxplot()

This is an untitled chart with no subtitle or caption.
It has x-axis 'supp' with labels OJ and VC.
It has y-axis 'len' with labels 10, 20 and 30.
The chart is a boxplot comprised of 2 vertical boxes with whiskers.
There is a box at x=1.
It has median 22.7. The box goes from 15.52 to 25.73, and the whiskers extend to 8.2 and 30.9.
There are 0 outliers for this boxplot.
There is a box at x=2.
It has median 16.5. The box goes from 11.2 to 23.1, and the whiskers extend to 4.2 and 33.9.
