`boxplot` has a names argument. If you are passing a dataframe with a 'grp' variable to boxplot.formula, then try: boxplot( ... , names = sub("^X", "" dfrm$grp), ...) See ?regex and ?sub If this does not address your specific problem, then you would need to be .... more specific. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
