Do you mean something like y<-rnorm(50) x<-factor(sample(letters[1:5],50,replace=T)) boxplot(y~x) text(1:5,rep(min(y),5),paste("n=",tapply(y,x,length)) ) ? (You can fiddle about with the text placement easily enough).
Also note that boxplot's varwidth parameter provides a graphical indication of group size; boxplot(y~x, varwidth=T) >>> Marc Bernard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 30/01/2008 11:43:15 >>> Dear all, How can I plot the number of observations per box in a boxplot.
