Feature description

The horizontal lines at IQR of the boxplot.

This might be a tiny thing but I found it affect how people percieve Boxplot and got confused easily.

For plot types, please add an image of how it should look like

jkrumbiegel commented 4 months ago

I don't understand what's the ask here.

pitipatw commented 4 months ago

Sorry, let me clarify this a bit. So, currently: GLMakie v0.9.10, CairoMakie v0.11.10, and Makie v0.20.9, If we use boxplot right now, the plot looks like this.

But normally, boxplot looks like this.

notice the horizontal line. I dont think that's currently an option to have in Makie.

I found that raincloud has the line, but not the boxplot, maybe we can use the same thing for raincloud with boxplot?

SimonDanisch commented 4 months ago

It's not well documented, but there's:

categories = rand(1:3, 1000)
values = randn(1000)
boxplot(categories, values; whiskerwidth=0.5)

I see, thank you for pointing this out. So, should there be an update on the boxplot function? I can try to do this.

asinghvi17 commented 4 months ago

You could update the docstring to mention that whiskers can be added by setting the whiskerwidth parameter...

jkrumbiegel commented 4 months ago

after 0.21 all plotting function keywords should get separate examples in the docs anyway, this is one of them

pitipatw commented 4 months ago

You mean each "plotting function keyword" gets its own page or for each "plotting function"?

If this part is not currently implemented, I'm willing to collaborate. Can you guide me how to do so?
