shellplot.boxplot

shellplot.boxplot(x, labels=None, fig=None, **kwargs)[source]

Plot a boxplot of x

Note that currently this makes a boxplot using the quantiles: [0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0] - i.e. it the whiskers will not exclude outliers

Parameters

  • x (array-like) – The horizontal coordinates of the data points. Can be 1d or 2d np.ndarray/ pandas series/ dataframe. If 2d, each 1d slice will be plotted as a separate boxplot.

  • labels (array-like) – Array that is used to label the boxplots.

  • fig (shellplot.figure.Figure, optional, default None) – If provided, plot will be attached to figure. Otherwise, a new figure is created for the plot

  • return_type (str, optional) – If ‘str’, returns the plot as a string. Otherwise, the plot will be directly printed to stdout.

  • **kwargs – Additional parameters passed to shellplot.figure (Only used if the fig keyword is None)

Returns
