In Ipython -pylab
I[1]: a = np.random.rand(10)
I[3]: b = np.random.rand(10)
I[4]: boxplot([a,b], positions=[1,2])
I[5]: locs, labels = xticks([1,2], ['a', 'b'])
#for fine-tuning
setp(labels, 'rotation', 'horizontal')
xticklabels = getp(gca(), 'xticklabels')
yticklabels = getp(gca(), 'yticklabels')
setp(xticklabels, fontsize=14, weight='bold')
setp(yticklabels, fontsize=14, weight='bold')
Cheers :)
