如何在MATLAB中的箱形图上覆盖茎图？

Question

I have a vector

A=[1 2 3 3 3 4 5]

I am able to show its box plot with

boxplot(A, 'orientation', 'horizontal')

I can also show its distribution with a stem plot like this

[nelements, centers] = hist(A);
stem(centers, nelements/numel(A), 'blue');

My question is how to combine these two plots into one figure? The figure should have its y-axis as probability and x-axis as the A values.

As for the height of the box plot in the figure, it does not matter.

How may I do this?

Answer 1

Use hold on as follows, and be aware that you need to vertically move (using 'position' again) your boxplot to fit the axes of stem

boxplot(A, 'orientation', 'horizontal','position',0.1); hold on
[nelements, centers] = hist(A);
stem(centers, nelements/numel(A), 'blue'); hold off
