boxplot displaying the min/max as top and bottom whiskers

[ftiercelin]

Hello,

First of all, many thanks for this very useful library.

I thought the top and bottom whiskers of a box plot would represent the max/min values. It seems that by default, boxplots are using the IQR to define the top/bottom whiskers. e.g. with these 2 populations:

• {min: 50,q1: 70,median: 80,mean: 82,q3: 90,max: 150,}
• {min: 50,q1: 75,median: 80,mean: 82,q3: 85,max: 150,}

where population 1 has an IQR of 20 versus an IQR of 10 for population 2 but all other values being identical. I'm getting the following graph:

I understand the benefits of using the IQR to define the top/bottom whiskers, but is there a way to not use the IQR and just use the min/max, no matter what they are?
