     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
