[R] How to reduce the (whitespace) gap between boxplots

[Bert Gunter]

1. Typo: should be "KNN = (your data)"  -- not "knn"

You specified at.x, but failed to use it.  You need to specify the
"at" parameter of boxplot() and probably also "xlim" (which is passed
down to bxp(), the function that actually draws the plot).

e.g.

boxplot(RF,Ranger, SVM, KNN, DT, range = 0, boxwex = 0.2, col=colors,
at = seq(1,3,by = .5), xlim = c(.8,3.2),
        names= c("RF","Ranger", "SVM", "KNN", "DT"),main="Degree of consistency
with default and optimized settings")

Modify to your taste.

Cheers,
Bert
