Thanks for the advice, Jeff. That's really what I was looking for. I still have another question (I'm sorry for that). Is it possible to increase the linewidth of the box plot (and change the color - i.e., from blue to black)? In the documentation, I don't see any option for boxplot regarding that point (the "widths" option refers to the width of the box, not the line).
I agree it is a cosmetic question but I think it would be better in a paper if I can change the linewidth and color. Thanks in advance.
