Support for boxplots

[r2o2]

It would be useful to have support for boxplots in Brunel. It would probably be easiest to use as a new element, so you could easily create clustered boxplots:

boxplot x(jobrole, gender) y(salary) color(gender)

YES, WML Visualization team needs this too!

We would like a boxplot that shows the entire range from min to max, if that is an option.

Do you mean a range chart?

data('sample:US States.csv') bar x(Region) yrange(Summer) range(Summer)

[lkitt]

I mean we want the first option on the following page, rather than the second option.

Try:

data('sample:US States.csv') bar x(Region) yrange(Summer) range(Summer) style("width:1px") + bar x(Region) yrange(Summer) iqr(Summer) + point x(Region) y(Summer) median(Summer) style('symbol:rect;height:2')

Styles can be improved here. Can also probably add the hashes at the min/max if needed.

Yes that's what I was looking for, thanks Dan. If we can get clustering working then we will have what I want.

I would also like this - pretty standard chart for the team we present data to - Dan your example is close but really need to also show the outliers.
