If you want to write code, the boxplot() function returns all the stats
you need to draw boxes with medians yourself. Include 'plot=F' and save
the result to a var.

We've been experimenting with some very dense graphs--up to 360
boxplots on a page, including medians and outliers. It's pretty
straightforward once you get the hang of it.

Email me off-list if you want some code snippets showing the general
technique.

Hello,
 
Does anyone know what the command/parameter is in S-Plus to obtain a
HORIZONTAL boxplot (instead of a vertical one)?
Furthermore I want to display the value of the median for each box in
the plot. Is that possible with the command text?
 
Thanks!
