R help - Oct 2012 - can't see colors with "col" in boxplot()

Hi,
I am trying to color the data points on my boxplot but I only get the
default black.
Not sure why.  Any ideas?
Thank you,
Mark

Here is my code.


> dat.g100 <- dat.sg[100,] # selected gene (row) from a dataframe of
37 columns
> d1 <- as.matrix(dat.g100[,1:18]) # subset 1
> d2 <- as.matrix(dat.g100[,19:37]) # subset 2


# boxplots
> par(mfrow=c(2,1))
> boxplot(d1, cex=0.3, col="red",
las=2,cex.axis=0.6,ylab="intensity",main="B cells: germinal
center – gene
100")
> boxplot(d2, cex=0.3, col="blue",
las=2,cex.axis=0.6,ylab="intensity",main="B cells: activated –
gene 100")

You mean the outlier points?

Look at:

? bxp

... and try ,,,  outcol="red"
