R help - Oct 2005 - boxplot: how to display x-labels vertically

Hi,

I need to draw a boxplot for a dataset consisting about 60 groups, the
problems is by default the x labels are drawn horizontally, so it is
impossible to display the names of all 60 groups. However, if the labels are
drawn vertically, it should be possible to display all names.

How can this be done?

Thanks.

Steve

Please read An Introduction to R, section 12.4.  You are looking for 
parameter 'las'.
