Hi Alan, Yes it is, but you need to do a bit work. There are different approaches. Look at the at= option under
?bxp and draw your boxplots with something like: boxplot(y ~ as.numeric(as.factor(grp)), at=c(0.5, 2, 2.5, 3), xaxt="n", ...) axis(side=1, at=c(0.5, 2, 2.5, 3), labels=c("0.5","2","2.5","3")) This should do it, and is perhaps the easiest route. There may be something missing, because I don't have a concrete example. Anyhow, you should be able to fill in the gaps. HTH, Mark.
