Hi, In boxplot(), is there a simple way to change the box colours for varifying no. of columns. In a different attempt, I could do the change of colour, for say, after every 14th column, like this - boxplot (file [,2:75], las=2, cex.axis=0.6,col = rep(seq(ncol(file)) + 1, each = 14)) Now, wonder how to give different column-colors (red, blue, etc.) for varying sets of columns (e.g., color for the first 7 dataset = green, next 4 datasets = blue ... and so on). Many thanks ! Cheers, Chintanu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

One option: boxplot(file [,2:75], las=2, cex.axis=0.6, col=c(1,2,3,4,5,5,6,6,6)) where the first four columns will be different colours, then the next two will be the same colour, then the next three (etc).
