Problem: Boxplot Whiskers can map to different data – sometimes this is +- 1.5 times the interquartil range, sometime the 5th and 95th percentile etc. In the box documentation, it is state that plotly uses the +-1.5 IQR as a standard. It is also stated that the boxpoints option allows other options, but seemingly boxpoints sets the displaying sof catterpoint and not of whiskers.
Proposed Solution: An option for setting what the whiskers mean. Candidates for this option would:
- n * IQR (for a +-1.5* the IQR, like the current default)
- nth percentiles (for something like a 5%/95% position)
- n*sd (for a +- 1 standard deviation position)
Or, if that option(s) already exists, a hint in the docuementation on how to set them.
