如何使用stat_boxplot更改晶须的线宽（geom =“errorbar”）

Question

I would like to change the line thickness of the whiskers when using stat_boxplot(geom = "errorbar") :

set.seed(42)
df <- data.frame(cond = factor( rep(c("A","B"), each=500) ), 
  value = c(rnorm(500,mean=1,sd=0.2),rnorm(500, mean=1.5,sd=0.1)))
ggplot(df, aes(x=cond, y=value)) + geom_boxplot(lwd=0.2)
ggplot(df, aes(x=cond, y=value)) + 
      stat_boxplot(geom = "errorbar", 
       stat_params = list(width = 0.5,size = 5.0)) + 
      geom_boxplot(lwd=0.2)

In the second plot lwd=0.2 changes the thickness of the lines in the box, but the whiskers remain the same.

Update

Thanks @eipi10,

ggplot(df, aes(x=cond, y=value)) + stat_boxplot(geom = "errorbar",
    width = 0.5, size=0.2) + geom_boxplot(lwd=0.2)

your solution changes the thickness of the lines of the whiskers but it makes the horizontal line at their end as wide as the box, instead of half (width = 0.5).

But using

ggplot(df, aes(x=cond, y=value)) + stat_boxplot(geom ="errorbar",
    stat_params = list(width = 0.5), size=0.2) + geom_boxplot(lwd=0.2)

or

ggplot(df, aes(x=cond, y=value)) + stat_boxplot(geom = "errorbar",
    stat_params = list(width = 0.5, size=0.2)) + geom_boxplot(lwd=0.2)

then the whiskers width is half of the box as intended but their line thickness is the default one that is thicker than the lines of the box.

In other words, I cannot simultaneously change the thickness of the lines and the width of the whiskers.

Update two

I am getting the same result with these two pieces of code (both without stat_params)

ggplot(df, aes(x=cond, y=value)) + stat_boxplot(geom = "errorbar",
    width=0.5, size=5) + geom_boxplot(lwd=0.2)

ggplot(df, aes(x=cond, y=value)) + stat_boxplot(geom = "errorbar",
    width=0.2, size=5) + geom_boxplot(lwd=0.2)

Answer 1

If I understand your question, I think this is what you're looking for:

ggplot(df, aes(x=cond, y=value)) + 
  stat_boxplot(geom = "errorbar", width=0.5, size=5) +
  geom_boxplot(lwd=0.2)

Here's the result with two different width settings:

Answer 2

Try

ggplot(df, aes(x=cond, y=value)) + stat_boxplot(geom = "errorbar", 
stat_params = list(width = 0.5), geom_params = list(size = 2))
+geom_boxplot(size = 2)
