hello,

i can't figure out how to change the vertical position of my x axis labels..

boxplot(c(1:12)~c(rep("1",6),rep("2",6)),at=c(1,2),
col=c(0,"grey"),las=1,xaxt="n")

### i put paragraphs in the x-labels because of limited horizontal space

?axis

Try using the padj argument (and it bothered me to use the <cr>'s rather than "\n", so I modified the labels argument as well):

axis(1,at=c(1,2),adj=1,padj=0.5,labels=c("Salix\nScrub","Tall\nForb"))



...the labels are one line above usual position and cross the tickmarks and
i don't know how to get around this.

can anyone help with this?
thanks in advance.
