Hi,

Is it possible to do something similar to

	boxplot(data.frame(m))

but have different scales for each of the boxplots?

The reason I ask is that I have a series of lake chemistry measurements
and I want to plot a diagram with boxplots for a number of variables. 
The variables are measured in different units and some variables are
orders of magnitude bigger than others.  Any help with this would be
appreciated.

Using R 1.3.0 on NT4

Cheers

Gav
