<h1>Artist customization in box plots<a class="headerlink" href="#artist-customization-in-box-plots" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>

This example demonstrates how to use the various kwargs

to fully customize box plots. The first figure demonstrates

how to remove and add individual components (note that the

mean is the only value not shown by default). The second

figure demonstrates how the styles of the artists can

be customized. It also demonstrates how to set the limit

of the whiskers to specific percentiles (lower right axes)

A good general reference on boxplots and their history can be found
