Advanced box and whisker plot maker

The box and whisker plot maker generates an advanced boxplot. To load the data from the basic boxplot maker, press 'Load last run' button.
The data should be separated by Enter or , (comma).
The tool ignores empty cells or non-numeric cells.

Click the "More Options" button to get more options. Some options, like "excluding outliers" appear only after generating the boxplot chart.
To download the plot as a PNG file, simply hover your cursor over the top right corner of the chart and click on the camera icon that appears..

Quartiles calculation for odd samples

When you have an odd sample, you may ask the question of how to split the sample into two. There are several valid methods to calculate the quartiles. Statskingdom usually uses option-1, while the advanced boxplot maker uses option-3.

  1. Include the median - the median appears in both lists.
  2. Exclude the median - the median doesn't appear in either list.
  3. Average - the average of the previous methods.

Exclude outliers

The box and whisker chart is not sensitive to outliers, but one extreme outlier may change the chart scale dramatically.
If you switch on the exclude outliers, it scales the chart nicely but loses the outliers.
The 'advanced boxplot maker' filters out the outliers before generating the chart.

Boxplot type

If you switch on the 'Exclude outliers', you should choose 'Only Whiskers' or 'Show data'

  • Outliers - the whiskers don't include the outliers, the outliers appear as points.
  • Suspected Outliers - the whiskers don't include the outliers, the outliers appear as two types of points, suspected outliers, and outliers.
  • Only Whiskers - the whiskers include the outliers.
  • Show data - the whiskers don't include the outliers, shoes all the data as points.

More options for customizing your charts

When creating charts, you have the flexibility to customize various aspects to better suit your needs. Here are some of the options available to you:

  • Title - the main header
  • Chart orientation - you can choose between a vertical or horizontal chart.
  • Median, Mean and SD:
    To represent statistical data, you can use three visual options:
    Median: displays the median value as a vertical line within the box.
    Mean and Median: shows the mean value as a dashed vertical line and the median value as a solid line.
    SD, Mean and Median: displays the standard deviation as a dashed rhombus, along with the mean and.
    median values.
  • Border width - you can adjust the thickness of the box border.
  • Category Axis - this is the axis that contains the categories.
  • Value Axis - this is the continuous axis, choose the name, the minimum value and the maximum value
  • Chart area - you can choose the color of the entire chart.
  • Background - you can choose the color of the chart background.
  • Data color: by default, the color of the data points matches the color of the data column. However, you can select a uniform color for all data points across all columns.
  • Font: you can customize the font type, size, and color for all labels.
  • Mirror categories - you can reverse the order of the boxplots.
  • Mirror axis - you can flip the axis to go from the maximum to the minimum value.

By utilizing these various options, you can create charts that are tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
