R help - Apr 2008 - Adding number of non-NAs to boxplot

boxplot(x[,c(2,15,28,41,54,67,80,93,106)], ylab="mg/s",
names=c("RM215",
"RM202", "RM198", "RM190", "RM185",
"RM179", "RM148", "RM119", "RM61"))

this is the code I am using to make a standard box plot.  Is there a way to
get the number of NA observations plotted onto the graph easily.  I can
always go in and extract the numbers and add them into the boxplot from the
output of boxplot

d <- boxplot(x[,c(2,15,28,41,54,67,80,93,106)], ylab="mg/s",
names=c("RM215", "RM202", "RM198",
"RM190", "RM185", "RM179", "RM148",
"RM119", "RM61"))

d$n



then I am still confused how to get this information into the graph I could
use a legend but that seems suboptimal-  I would like to have them under the
names like

RM215
n=24

I can provide data, but this seems more of a graph construction question
than an analysis one.

Thanks in advance

Stephen

Have a look at the addtable2plot function in the
plotrix package.

It should do what you want.
