[R] Help

[David L Carlson]

Here are two possibilities depending on what you mean by "on top" of one
another:

> A <- matrix(rnorm(1000), ncol=10)
> B <- matrix(rnorm(1000), ncol=10)
> C <- matrix(rnorm(1000), ncol=10)
> oldpar <- par(mfrow=c(3,1), mar=c(3, 3, 2, 2))
> boxplot(A)
> boxplot(B)
> boxplot(C)
> par(oldpar)

Or really "on top" using color and changing the size of the boxes to make
them visible.

> boxplot(A)
> boxplot(B, border="red", boxwex=.7, add=TRUE)
> boxplot(C, border="blue", boxwex=.6, add=TRUE)
