Hacking Boxplots

Usually the big nuisance with boxplots is accomodating the labels, which are usually too long. I suggest to keep the boxplots vertical, turn all the labels to perpendicular to axis, and increase the outer margin on the x-labels side.

x11 ()
par (omd = c (0, 1, 0.1, 1))
boxplot (<#...>, names = <#x_labels>, las = 2)

omd parameters are:

width (parallel to x axis), left side
width (parallel to x axis), right side
height (parallel to y axis), bottom
height (parallel to y axis), topBR

las values are:

0: always parallel to the axis [default],
1: always horizontal,
2: always perpendicular to the axis,
3: always vertical.BR

For a general reference, look at the par help page.
