I'd like to plot boxplots on the terminal along with support for multiple boxplots alongside other boxplots

So something like this, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot#/media/File:Michelsonmorley-boxplot.svg

To be honest I'm not sure if the resolution of the terminal is good enough for this. Maybe simple error bars?

If you want you can check out the histogram function to get an idea of the challenge here.

Let me know what you think, or if you want to try to build it yourself.

will get back to you after trying it myself once.
