boxplot() isn't passing extra parameters in the way you'd expect. If
you set par() first, it works fine.
mar.orig <- par()$mar # save the original values
par(mar = c(20,4,4,4)) # set your new values
boxplot(data, las = 2)
par(mar = mar.orig) # put the original values back

Hi there,
I'm trying to solve a boxplot problem (should be simple, but I cannot find
the solution...):
data <- list( "long_name1_xxxxxxxxxxx" = rnorm(100),
"long_name2_yyyyyyyyyyyyyy" = rnorm(200))
boxplot(data , las = 2, mar = c(20,4,4,4))
Why does the margin not change whatever I put there???
With other plots it worked for me, why not in this case?
I just want to see the whole label...
I'm really sorry if I've missed a very obvious reason for this behaviour.
Maybe someone can help me?
Ciao,
Antje
