R help - Sep 2011 - how to plot a series of data in a dataframe?

hi

i have a dataframe with the name "obsdata"
       V1 V2 V3 V4    V5    V6    V7    V8     V9   V10   V11   V12   V13
1    1001  3 24 12  24.7  44.4  70.1  49.3   33.7   3.0   6.8   2.7    NA
2    1001  3 25  0  70.1  49.3  33.7 138.2  152.5    NA   4.2   6.9  17.5
3    1001  3 25 12  33.7 187.7 286.5 386.7     NA  16.2  46.0  48.8  43.1
4    1001  3 26  0  88.6 129.4    NA    NA     NA  55.5  26.5    NA    NA
5    1001  3 24 12  24.7  24.1  44.3 109.1   96.3   3.0   6.8   9.3  17.2

not i want to boxplot the data from V5 to V11 ,what can i do ?

it seems that boxplot(obsdata$V5) can only plot one group of data ?

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?

This can be done using bwplot in lattice library. Also, it is better
to organize your data in 'long' format. Look at functions reshape or
melt in reshape library.
