To add labels to boxplots in R, the basic syntax involves using the boxplot() function with parameters like xlab for the x-axis label, ylab for the y-axis label, and main for the title. When plotting multiple boxplots together, it's recommended to utilize the par() function to set up the plotting area correctly. This approach helps avoid syntax errors and ensures that labels appear as intended on the plots.

I've been trying to get labels on boxplot() but I keep on getting syntax errors (mainly from me trying to hack my way through). Anyone know how to get labels to show up on any plot in R?

*i was plotting 2 box plots together, so I don't know if that complicates anything
 
Physics news on Phys.org
boxplot(data, xlab="X label", ylab="Y label", main="Title")

if you want two on the same window use the par function.

Hope this helps.
