Hello,

Without data, I've made up my own. Try the following.


x <- rnorm(100)
y <- rnorm(100)

bp <- boxplot(x, y, range = 0, names=c("One","Two"))
bx <- bxp(bp, horizontal=TRUE, boxwex = 0.15, at = c(1, 1 + 2*0.15))
bx

Note that in the call to boxplot you only need the arguments that affect the returned value.
See ?boxplot, section Value.
And that without the argument 'at' to bxp, its returned value would be
> bx
[1] 1 2

(See also ?bxp)
You can make the code more readable with something like

bwex <- 0.15

and then use it wherever it's needed.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Hi
I have two vectors of integers and I am plotting a box plot that contains
both vectors. I have done the following:

vec1 < -scan("file1")
vec2 < -scan("file2")
boxplot(vec1, vec2, range=0, horizontal=TRUE, names=c("One","Two"),
boxwex=0.15)


I managed to get both boxplots on the same figure but there they are wide
apart. Is there a way to reduce the space between them?
Currently they look like this:

         |
         |
one|   |--[]---------|
         |
         |
         |
        |
        |
        |
        |
        |
        |
two| |----------[]-------|
        |
        |
        |__________________________

I mean to reduce the space between "one" and "two" and maybe also "two" and
x-axis.

How can I do this? Thanks!
