## Boxplotlegend

### Description

This function plots the legend in form of a boxplot. The symbols represent the different levels (e.g. whiskers, median, ...) of the boxplot.

### Usage

    boxplotlegend(X, Y, el, boxinfo, x.shift = 40000, xf = 10000, y.shift = 0.2,
    y.scale = 130000, legend.title = "Legend", cex.legtit = 1, logscale = TRUE,
    symb = c(1, 1, 16, 3, 3), ssize = c(1.5, 1, 0.3, 1, 1.5), accentuate = FALSE,
    cex.scale = 0.8)

### Arguments

`X` | X-coordinates
`Y` | Y-coordinates
`el` | variable considered
`boxinfo` | from boxplot(el) or boxplotlog(el)
`x.shift` | shift in x-direction
`xf` | width in x-direction
`y.shift` | shift in y-direction (from title)
`y.scale` | scale in y-direction
`legend.title` | title for legend
`cex.legtit` | cex of title for legend
`logscale` | if TRUE plot boxplot in log-scale
`symb` | symbols to be used (length 5!)
`ssize` | symbol sizes to be used (length 5!)
`accentuate` | if FALSE no symbols for the upper values (e.g. upper "hinge", upper whisker) are assigned
`cex.scale` | cex for text "log-scale" for scale

### Details

Takes the information provided by the argument boxinfo and plots a boxplot corresponding to the values. If there are no upper or/and lower outliers the symbols for the upper or/and lower whiskers will be ignored.

### Value

Plots the legend with respect to the boxplot and returns the symbols, size and the quantiles used for the legend.
