[R] Changing labels positions in two graphics

[R. Michael Weylandt]

Hi -- these sorts of graphical parameters are documented in ?par, but
it's admittedly somewhat terrifying to try to read (Oh well, the cost
of comprehensiveness)  -- you're looking for either las or (less
likely, but might work if you can draw the labels manually) str, both
documented on that page.

E.g,

boxplot(sample(10, 25, TRUE) ~ sample(paste0(letters[1:4], "defas"),
25, TRUE), las = 2)

Best,
Michael
