Dear Lao and Dennis,

Thanks for your reply, now it is working as expected by using 
height=cbind(c(data[1,],data[2,],data[3,])

No,even there's only one observation,boxplot can still be drawn.
 
x<-1
boxplot(x)
 
or
x<-1:3
boxplot(x)
...

Hi:

A box plot is based on a five number summary, so you need at a minimum five
observations (and preferably at least twice that) to make a box plot a

viable summary measure for a continuous variable. Consider other graphical
summaries for these data - perhaps a strip chart or a simple scatterplot.

HTH,
Dennis
