Hello
I have two boxplots and want the names to be in italic, which works fine,
except that the second name (Sinapis) is raised, compared to the first name:
bicran-c(0.55,0.25,0.6,0.83,0.11,0,0.67,1.36,0.9,1.09)
bicsin-c(0.09,0.53,0.45,0.38,1.18,0.45,0.78,1.17,1.22,1.4)

When i make Boxplots with a lot of boxes, the names of them get only written
down every second column.
Since they aren't in any way ordered, you don't see anymore to what they belong.
example:
l-rep(list(1:5),20); boxplot(l,names=sample(20,1:20))
Is there a way to show them all, or do i have

Copied the wrong lines, sry
l-rep(list(1:5),20); boxplot(l,names=sample(1:20,20))
of course.
thanks for the answer

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,

Jessica,
Another possibility if the names are long is to use abbreviated factor levels.
