One does not, and that (whole area) was the main reason I mentioned "violin plots" which do show features such as bimodality: There's a simple violin plot in the (recommended and hence always available) package "lattice" library(lattice) example(panel.vioplot) but for the sake of bimodality {and the version of violin plot that was in the 1998 Am.Stat. paper} install.packages("vioplot") # if needed example(vioplot) Both of these examples use the basic boxplot but *add* to it, so you can, e.g., clearly discern bimodality.
