hi all- i am creating a boxplot and would like to shift the x-axis tick marks (named 1:23) so that the ticks are in between the boxes and not centered in the middle of the boxes. i have searched the help files and google and have not found what i am looking for. does anyone know how to do this? thanks! s.heck University of Colorado, Boulder

Is this what you want?
sherri <- data.frame(grp=rep(letters[1:6], 20), value=rnorm(6*20)+6)
temp <- with(sherri, boxplot(value~grp, xaxt='n'))
axis(1, 1:5+0.5, rep('', 5))

Hi Peter- that worked wonderfully! I am having a hard time adding "labels" to the tick marks. I've tried a myriad of things. I just want to label the ticks 1- 23. any thoughts? thanks again for your help! sheck
