adjacent boxplots on same figure

I can make multiple horizontal boxplots in Matlab like:

|                  _____
|               |-[_|__]-|
|        ____
|   |---[__|_]-|
-------------------------

But I want the two boxplots to be adjacent (on the same line), like this:

|                  
|              
|        ____       _____
|   |---[__|_]-| |-[_|__]-|
-------------------------

How do I do that?

[Sean de Wolski]

hb = boxplot(1:10,[zeros(1,5) ones(1,5)], 'colorgroup', [0 1], 'colors', 'rb', 'orientation', 'horizontal');

Get each graphics object's handle (second column is second box) and set its 'YData' to be the former ydata I the index

for ii = 1:size(hb,1)-1
  set(hb(ii,2),'YData',get(hb(ii,2),'YData')-1)
end

This would extend as the number of boxes grows too.
