[R] boxplot names italic

2012-09-25 Thread Wolf Sarah

You might alternatively find the horizontal = TRUE with las=2 to be useful; e.g. dat - data.frame(val=rnorm(100), grp=rep(apply(matrix(sample(letters,100,rep=TRUE),nr=5),2,paste,collapse=),5)) boxplot(val~grp,horizontal=TRUE,data=dat,las=2) ## Note that las=2 might also help with

Dear Jessica, You might try par(las=2) to rotate the tick labels to be perpendicular to the axes. I hope this helps, John John Fox Sen. William McMaster Prof. of Social Statistics Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario,
