How do I make the y-axis values bold in R?

Question

I have a box plot and want to make the values of the y-axis bold. I know how to make the y-axis title bold.

Accepted Answer

Use `par`:

```
par(font.axis = 2) # 2 means 'bold'
boxplot(1:10)
```

An alternative way using `axis` (proposed by @joran):

```
boxplot(1:10, yaxt = "n") # suppress y axis
axis(side = 2, font = 2)  # 'side = 2' means y axis
```

You can reset to normal typeface using `par(font.axis = 1)`.
