boxwhiskerseries

Description

The "boxwhiskerseries" tag creates a bar-like series where each bar contains a box and "whiskers" extending from it. It's typically used to plot statistical data, with the extent of the whiskers representing the overall range of data and the box representing 1 or 2 standard deviations from the mean. Each "data" tag inside a Box-Whisker series must have a "bottom", "middle" and "top" attributes, and may have a "min", "lower", "upper" and "max" specified. Added in 2.2.

    <data x="Set 2" min="14" bottom="16.9" middle="21" top="29.5" max="32" />
