R help - Apr 2008 - boxplot tick locations

hi all-

i am creating a boxplot and would like to shift the x-axis tick marks 
(named 1:23) so that the ticks are in between the boxes and not centered 
in the middle of the boxes. i have searched the help files and google 
and have not found what i am looking for.

does anyone know how to do this?

thanks!

Is this what you want?

sherri <- data.frame(grp=rep(letters[1:6], 20), value=rnorm(6*20)+6)
temp <- with(sherri, boxplot(value~grp, xaxt='n'))
axis(1, 1:5+0.5, rep('', 5))
