R help - Feb 2008 - Label outliers in boxplot

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm a beginner and I didn't find
help in manuals, archives, or web
 
I have a z matrix of this type:
 
 
                        a             b           c              d

simply when I boxplot i use
 
boxplot(as.data.frame(z))
 
I would like the rownames to appear close to the outliers in the boxplot.
There is a command to do it ? I've seen the identify() function but I'm
not able to obtain any results
 
Could someone help me ?
Thanks in advance
 
 
Giulio

Your data frame came through scrambled for me. From the posting guide comes
a hint on making this easier for readers to help you:

"When providing examples, it is best to give an R command that constructs
the data ... For more complicated data structures, dump("x",
file=stdout())
will print an expression that will recreate the object x."

That aside, there's some help for you in '?boxplot'. See the values
in the
returned object; the outliers are identified already. You can call them out
separately (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/09/12735.html) or get
them with the identify function
(http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/help/07/01/8598.html). Note that the
last Identify command in the latter link should be a lowercase identify.

I got those by searching the mail archives (originally).
