[R] Controling width of boxes in boxplots

[Henrique Dallazuanna]

Try this:

x <- sample(5, 100, rep=T)
y <- rnorm(100)

plot(x,y, xlim=c(min(x)-.5, max(x)), ylim=c(min(y), max(y)+1))
boxplot(y, pars=list(boxwex=0.3), at=min(x)-.5, add=T)
boxplot(x, pars=list(boxwex=0.3), at=max(y)+1, add=T, horizontal=T)
