[R] why are my multiple box & whisker plots so small?

[Ellen Husain]

Hi all,

I'm sure this is reallly basic, but I just can get it to work. I want to
plot six box & whisker plots together to make one figure so that they
appear one below the next.

I can do this using >par(mfrow=c(6,1)), but each box&whisker plots end up
vertically compressed to the point where I can't see the actual bars, and
there is a large amount of white space between each one.

 I have tried reducing the margins using "mar", but nothing happens. I've
also tried using "plt" to make the plot area bigger, but this has no
effect either.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance,

Ellen.
