It is not entirely clear what you are looking to do here.

Are you attempting to plot a horizontal boxplot and adjust the range of
the horizontal axis?

If so, use 'ylim':

boxplot(1:10, ylim = c(0, 100), horizontal = TRUE)

If by chance, you are looking to play around with the location(s) of the
boxplots in a vertical configuration, see the 'at' and 'add' arguments
in ?boxplot. The last example in the help gives some hints on that,
where the 'boxwex' argument is also helpful.

Also, please be sure to post using a new e-mail. Your initial post is
"buried" in a thread from the beginning of the month in the archive. I
noted it when looking to see if anyone had responded to it yet.

HTH,
