R devel - Dec 2009 - boxplot: auto sizing for ylim variable

Dear R-Devel,
I am trying to create a boxplot for a large dataset (about 1500 entries)
 and was wondering if there was away to do auto sizing for the y-axis of a
horizontal bar plot?  I know I could use a control structure to loop through
the data instead, but as I know SAS has something does this automatically I
thought R might as well.

Thanks,
VL

I don't understand your question.  Are you trying to create a boxplot or
barplot (you mention both), what scaling is not happening automatically that you
would like?

Can you give a simple example of what you have tried, what results you are
seeing and what results you would like to see instead?
