R help - Dec 2013 - x-axis value in boxplot

Hai,

I
am new to “R” software. 

 I have a doubt, while doing analysis,
keeping the x axis value as year, in graphical representation (ie, in
boxplot) the values comes as "X2005", and "X2006"
and so on in x axis. How to keep "2005", "2006"
as x axis value instead of "X2005" and "X2006".
In gist, there comes a prefix "X" before the numeric value
of X axis variables. How to solve this problem?

If any suggestions/guidance, please feel free to write
<musammilu@hotmail.com>.  Kindly give me the "R" command to get
rid of above problem!

With kind regards,

`boxplot` has a names argument. If you are passing a dataframe with a
'grp' variable to boxplot.formula, then try:
     boxplot( ... , names = sub("^X", "" dfrm$grp), ...)

See ?regex and ?sub

If this does not address your specific problem, then you would need to be ....
more specific.
