dfSummary: box plots for numeric variables? #182

Open jarbet opened 1 year ago

jarbet commented 1 year ago

dfSummary makes histograms for all numeric variables. Would it be possible to have an option to show boxplots instead? That way we could potentially identify outlier observations as dots beyond the whiskers.

For example:

data(mtcars)
boxplot(mtcars$hp)

Further development is not on the radar, at least for a while... But if someone wants to have a go at it, I'll gladly include it in a future release.
