R help - Sep 2011 - two question about plot

1) how to modify the the tickment of x-axis or y-axis.
   boxplot(data[,1:5])
  the tickment in x-axis in V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 ,I want to be some name for
example
 
name<-c("1day","2day","3day","4day","5day")

2) how to overlap two plot into one figure?
 plot(data[1:5])
 boxplot(newdata[,1:5])
?

The help for boxplot offers suggestions for both those things. You may be
particularly interested in:

   names: group labels which will be printed under each boxplot.  Can
          be a character vector or an expression (see plotmath).

    add: logical, if true _add_ boxplot to current plot.

It could be also worth to consult also bwplot from lattice or especially 
ggplot2 package for plotting.
