boxplot

A boxlot consists of three one dimensional measures: two ranges and a position. They most commonly depict the quartiles of a distribution: the dotted-line range showing the extrema, the ends of the box showing the first and third quartile, and the position (drawn as a line dividing the box) showing the second quartile (median). In Variance, all of the aesthetics are optional; if omitted, that part of the boxplot will not be drawn.

Boxplots show data along one dimension only. If scaleX is in scope, the boxplot will be oriented horizontally; vertically if scaleY is in scope. One of scaleX or scaleY must be in scope, but not both.
