BOXPLOT Procedure
Creates a standard box plot.
Usage
BOXPLOT, data
Input Parameters
data—A list of vectors.
Keywords
Width—The width of the boxes. A width of 1 will result in boxes that touch each other. (Default = 0.5)
Linecolor—The color of the lines in the plot. (Default = 1)
Fillcolor—The color to fill the boxes with. (Default = 15)
Background—The background color. (Default = 0)
Foreground—The foreground axis color. (Default = 1)
Whisker—If set, only vertical whiskers are drawn (no fences or extreme values are plotted).
Fence—If set, the vertical whiskers and fences are drawn (no extreme values are plotted).
Diamond—If set, diamonds are drawn instead of rectangles for the boxes.
Boxinfo—(Output) An array of structures containing information about each box; most values are computed by the IQR function.
Mean—If set, a line is drawn for the mean value.
Mcolor—The color of the line marking the mean value. (Default = 2)
Join—If set, the mean values are joined with a line.
Annotate—If set, the mean value is annotated.
Scolor—The color of the symbols for outside values (Default = 5)
Spsym—The symbol to use for outside values (Default = 8, circles)
Extreme—If set, plot the extreme points using a different symbol.
Ecolor—The color of the symbols for extreme values. (Default = 5)
Epsym -The symbol to use for extreme values. (Default = 8, filled circles)
