Does someone know how to remove the frame when producing a boxplot with the R boxplot() function?
With the plot() function there is an optinal argument, frame=F, that does the job... but it is not included in the boxplot() function...
Thank you very much!

Data Visualization using R Programming Boxplots are a measure of how well distributed is the data in a data set. It divides the data set into three quartiles. This graph represents the minimum, maximum, median, first quartile and third quartile in the data set.
The font size of the main title of boxplot can be changed by defining the font size value using par(cex. main=”size”), here size value can be changed based on our requirement. This needs to be done before creating the boxplot, otherwise, there will be no effect on the size of the main title.
Use the option frame=F (or frame.plot=F) in the boxplot function :
boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray",frame=F)
Other parameters that can be used in the boxplot function are (rather inconveniently) listed on the helppage of ?bxp, which is the underlying function of boxplot()

You can do this with bty in par. Using an example from the boxplot help:
par(bty='n')
boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray")
boxplot() seems to accept the frame argument just fine.
boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray")
#vs
boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray", frame = FALSE)
