Hi David, In addition to Bill's answer where you specify limits at the beginning, if you want to do it "on the fly" and you are not reusing x1, x2 and x3: x1a=rnorm(10,60,1) x2a=rnorm(10,65,1) x3a=rnorm(10,70,1) x1b=rnorm(10,60,4) x2b=rnorm(10,65,4) x3b=rnorm(10,70,4) x1c=rnorm(10,60,9) x2c=rnorm(10,65,9) x3c=rnorm(10,70,9) ylim<-range(c(x1a,x2a,x3a,x1b,x2b,x3b,x1c,x2c,x3c)) boxplot(x1a,x2a,x3a,ylim=ylim,horizontal=TRUE,main="Example 1") boxplot(x1b,x2b,x3b,ylim=ylim,horizontal=TRUE,main="Example 2") boxplot(x1c,x2c,x3c,ylim=ylim,horizontal=TRUE,main="Example 3") Jim __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Add ylim=c(dataMin, dataMax) to each call to boxplot(), where you specify values for dataMin and dataMax so their range is likely to cover all your data. ('ylim', not 'xlim' - the horizontal=TRUE flips the meaning of 'x' and 'y'.)
