Re: st: RE: Box plots of z-scores

Oops! Thanks Nick.

I have done some "gens" and am now able to align the medians of the 
z-scores.

Is there an easy way of modifying the whiskers so that they range from, 
say, 0% to 80% (and preferably without other percentile values in between)?

My intention is to align the zscores at their zero percentiles, and thus 
to illustrate the diffrence in the relative locations of the 80th 
percentiles.
