It worked, thanks.

Is there a way to put a trend line through the boxplots?

You have not shown us how you set the data up or made the boxplots. A "trend line through boxplots" seems be a bit ambiguous, since the x- variable needs to be a factor and a factor variable would not necessarily have either a scale or an order. So the answer with the available information cannot be anymore specific than "it depends".

I'm trying to make a monthly boxplot using this:

boxplot(varmeasure ~ vardates)

vardates = [1] 10/1/2010 10/1/2010 10/1/2010 10/1/2010 10/1/2010 10/1/2010
10/1/2010
[8] 10/1/2010 10/1/2010 11/1/2010 11/1/2010 11/1/2010 11/1/2010 11/1/2010
....

varmeasure = [1] 0.0 26.0 0.2 -0.2 -1.2 -0.8 0.0 4.4 -0.6
-0.2  14.4  -0.2
[13] 4.8 4.0 2.8 3.2 3.8 3.2 -11.4 0.2 0.4 3.0 0.6
6.2
....


they have same size.


My problem is that R is ploting ordered by months and not by year and by
months

I'm getting 1/1/2011, 10/1/2010, 11/1/2010, 2/1/2011

How can I plot it in chronological order?


By converting those character strings to dates. At the moment you seem to believe that R has the ability to "know" that you want these strings to be
dates.

?as.Date
?Dates
