I think I may understand what you want.
I 'd say the first thing to do is to combine the 3 matrices into a single data
frame with a column for the values of A, B C
Here is a mock-up with something like what I mean. I just used two columns of
data for the mock-up.
Then, you can reshape the data using melt() from the reshape2 package and then
graph the data using ggplot from the ggplot2 package.
Is this something like what you want?
=============================================================
library(ggplot2)
library(reshape2)
A <- data.frame( m = (rep("A", 10)) , b=rnorm(10), c = rnorm(10))
B <- data.frame( m = (rep("B", 10)) , b=rnorm(10), c = rnorm(10))
C <- data.frame( m = (rep("C", 10)) , b=rnorm(10), c = rnorm(10))
mydata <- rbind( A, B, C )
names(mydata) <- c( "group", "k1", "k2" )
mdata <- melt(mydata)
p <- ggplot( mdata , aes(variable, value , colour = variable )) +
geom_boxplot() +
facet_grid( group ~ .)
p

> Dear all,
> I need some help on plotting multiple boxplots on one figure.
> I have three matrix A, B and C. Each of them is a 1000 by 10 matrix.

> I want to make a plot where x axis represents different values of k.
> For each k value, I want to plot three boxplots, one on top of another.
