Hi Petr, Thanks for these comments.
I'm sorry that my post was not clear. I was referring to the questions in my original post/code/file uploads, but I had forgotten to include an updated file (now attached http://www.nabble.com/file/p25304663/Post%2Btrial%2Bdata.csv Post+trial+data.csv ) to work with the new code: testdata<- c("C:\\Files\\R\\Sample R code\\Post trial data.csv") new_data<- read.table(testdata, skip = 0, sep = ",", na.strings = "na",header = TRUE) x11(width=16, height=7, pointsize=14) boxplot(new_data,outline = FALSE, col = c("lightblue", "salmon"), las =1, boxwex = 0.5) legend("top", c("Label for blue boxes","Label for red boxes"), cex=1.5, lty=1:2, fill=c("lightblue", "salmon"), bty="n"); title(main="Chart title text", cex.main = 1.8) grid() I'm still not clear how I can get the number format showing #,###. E.g. with this code and attached file, the scale shows as "2000", "10000" etc. I don't know how to show 2,000..... 10,000 etc. I have looked through sprintf (thanks for suggesting that - I'd spent hours looking without finding it) and it seems incredibly flexible, but the formats shown are more scientific in focus. I still haven't been able to find a way of getting a "comma style".
