Add simple box plots
This adds a basic boxplot function to Winston. I've included code to indicate notches around the median, which uses a simple analytical expression for the notch size (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot). I'm mainly submitting this to get comments, as I'm sure the way I'm currently doing this is less than optimal. Eagerly awaiting any criticisms : )
Thanks! Just a few minor suggestions:
- I'm not sure about the name
Boxplot
. How about something likeQuartileBoxes
orTukeyBoxes
? - Needs docs. Specifically, a
doc/fun/boxplot.rst
file and a line inNEWS
.
Thanks for the comments I think QuartileBoxes might be a better name, I guess I used Boxplot since that's what Matlab and Matplotlib calls these kinds of plots. I actually prefer looking at distributions like this rather than as a histogram. I'll put together some documentation as well.
