yaxis.rev = TRUE for Boxplot

[jmusgs]

Is there any way to flip the y axis on the boxplot using the command yaxis.rev = TRUE, as in some of the other graph types? We have a report with lots of boxplots comparing groundwater levels, and the colleague reviewers have asked us to flip the axis to show depth to groundwater with land surface at the top. The yaxis.rev = TRUE does not seem to work here.

Thanks

I don't have time in the near future to dig into the code to see how complex that would be. One option for boxplots would be to take a look at:

If you can consider using a ggplot2 approach, then you can add something like scale_y_reverse( lim=c(10,0)) when creating the plot.

Thanks. I will let you know what we end up doing. We had some other thoughts of feeding in the data as negative values for now..
