Box plots: nominal data only?

[translunar]

It seems like box plots only work with nominal data, but I'd like to make a candlestick plot where the independent variable is numeric and not distributed at a regular interval. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Yes, bar chart has two mode that you require and box plot should do the same, but I have no idea to implement it naturally.

The second and third arguments of Plot#add is usually for data to be placed along x and y axis. I do not want to break the circumstance, but I also think bar chart already break it and box should be the same.

I'll think about it after I get up:) 2014/08/26 1:21 "John Woods" [email protected]:
