[R] boxplot and xlim confusion?

[Petr Pikal]

Hi Karin

I did not have seen any answer for your question yet so here is a 
try.

I gues you want the horizotal layout or your boxplot.

boxplot(split(rnorm(30), rep(1:3, each=10)), horizontal =T, 
names=letters[1:3])

boxplot(split(rnorm(30), rep(1:3, each=10)), horizontal =T, 
names=c(NA,"b",NA))

So this is closest what I could dig from your text.

***reproducible*** example would by good starting point what you want 
and was not able to produce.
