`x`	data as vector, matrix, list or data.frame.
`horizontal`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), rotation of 90 degrees is applied.
`add`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), the boxplot is added to an existing plot.
`colpal`	a character vector containing R built-in color names or a name of a `LSD` colorpalette as a character string (see disco() or `disco`) (defaults to "heat", if not specified).
`rev`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), a reversed colorpalette is used.
`simulate`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), a converted colorpalette is used to simulate dichromat vision according to http://www.daltonize.org (see `daltonize`).
`daltonize`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), a converted colorpalette is used to enhance dichromat vision according to http://www.daltonize.org (see `daltonize`).
`cvd`	character string implying the type of color vision deficiency ("p" for protanope, "d" for deuteranope or "t" for tritanope).
`alpha`	alpha value: a two-digit integer between 01 and 99 for color opacity, i.e. appearance of partial or full transparency (usage omitted by default).
`colpals`	a character vector containing names of `LSD` colorpalettes (see disco() or `disco`).
`nrcol`	a non-negative integer specifying the number of colors to be used (defaults to 100, if not specified).
`lwd`	linewidth of the box and whiskers.
`axes`	logical: if `TRUE` (by default), the axes are plotted.
`labels`	a character vector of labels.
`xlim`	x limits, standard graphics parameter.
`ylim`	y limits, standard graphics parameter.
`xlab`	x label, standard graphics parameter.
`ylab`	y label, standard graphics parameter.
`main`	title(s) of the plot, standard graphics parameter.
`nolab`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), the title and ylab are suppressed.
`outline`	logical: if `TRUE` (by default), outliers are plotted.
`boxonly`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), the density is only be plotted in the box.
`adjust`	a numeric value giving the scaling factor for the used bandwidth (defaults to 1).
`quant.from`	a numeric value (between 0 and 1) giving the quantile from which the density lane should be plotted.
`quant.to`	a numeric value (between 0 and 1) giving the quantile to which the density lane should be plotted.
`range`	a numeric value to determine how far the plot whiskers extend out from the box.
`border`	an R build-in color for the box and whiskers.
`plot.boxplot`	logical: if `TRUE` (by default), the boxplot is added to the density.
`add.quartiles`	if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), only the box of the boxplot is added (if `plot.boxplot = FALSE`).
`add.box`	logical: if `TRUE` (by default), the box is added to the plot.
`n.density`	an integer specifying the number of equally spaced points at which the density is to be estimated.
`cexbox`	a numerical value giving the amount by which the boxes should be magnified relative to the default.
`...`	additional parameters to be passed to points and plot.
