If you're referring to labels on the x-axis, Jose, I'll
sometimes rotate them and increase the bottom margin:
# Increase bottom margin by 0.1
par(omd=c(0,1,0.1,1))
boxplot(...)
# Add perpendicular labels
axis(1, at=1:length(labels), labels=labels, las=2)
For another strategy, see "Kickstarting R: Text in the
margins."*
Best, Peter
