I have the following code: subsetTimeDataPlot <- boxplot(subsetTimeData$time ~ subsetTimeData$build, horizontal=True, col="lightblue", ...) The 'names' component consists of strings that can be up to 20-30 characters long. How would I go about drawing the names vertically (not the boxplot) or shrinking the names text (I tried cex.names=0.7 but this didn't help).
You might try: library(ggplot2) qplot(build, time, data=subsetTimeData, geom="boxplot") + coord_flip() which will automatically allocate enough space for the names. You can find out more about ggplot2 at http://had.co.nz/ggplot2. Hadley
