R boxplot with different sizes

I would like to make a boxplot of the counts on y axis and the position on the axis.But the counts have different amount of counts, how can I plot it? Thanks! I'd also like to take the absolute value of the counts. Thanks!

> mat.count[1:50,]
    position               count
1  136873135                   0

Try:

library(splitstackshape)
mc <- cSplit(mat.count, "count", sep =",", "long")
boxplot(abs(count) ~ position, data = mc, varwidth = TRUE)

enter image description here

Or using ggplot2:

ggplot(mc, aes(x=as.factor(position), y=abs(count))) + 
  geom_boxplot(varwidth=TRUE) + 
  theme(text = element_text(size=6),
        axis.text.x = element_text(angle=90, vjust=1))

enter image description here
