I have data I'd like to plot using the formula interface to boxplot. I call boxplot like so: with(mydata, boxplot(count ~ geno * tissue)) I get a boxplot with x axis labels like "wt.kidney". I would like to change the '.' to a newline. Where is this separator configured? Thanks, -Ed
Boxplot, formula interface, and labels.

Another way to think of this problem. If I could get my hands on the vector of names boxplot() is creating, I could use gsub() to replace '.' with '\n'. Is there something I could run before boxplot() that would give me that vector of names which I could then pass to boxplot()?

mybp <- boxplot(count ~ geno * tissue, data = mydata, plot = FALSE)
mybp$names <- gsub("\\.", "\n", mybp$names)
bxp(mybp)
See ?boxplot for details.

Just change the separator:
data(Titanic)
Titanic.df <- as.data.frame(Titanic)
boxplot(Freq~Class*Sex, Titanic.df, cex.axis=.6, sep="\n")
See attached .png.

I knew I was making harder than it needed to be. I see it now in ?boxplot Thanks!
