Plotting Boxplots with Numeric X-Axis in R: A Customized Approach
Plotting Boxplots with Numeric X-Axis in R In this article, we will explore how to plot boxplots using the regular boxplot function in R, rather than the more popular ggplot2. We will cover the necessary steps and techniques for creating a boxplot with quantified spacing on the x-axis. Introduction Boxplots are a useful statistical visualization tool that displays the distribution of data. They consist of several key components: the box (or body) which represents the interquartile range (IQR), the whiskers which extend to about 1.

Notification when NSMutableDictionary Count Reaches Zero in Objective-C.
Objective-C: Add an observer to an NSMutableDictionary that gets notified when count reaches 0 When working with dictionaries and other “class cluster” objects in Objective-C, it’s often desirable to extend their behavior or add custom functionality without subclassing them directly. In this case, we want to notify an observer when the count of a mutable dictionary reaches zero. Background on Class Cluster Objects In Objective-C, class clusters are a mechanism for grouping related classes together.
