Traces
box
trace is an object with the key "type"
equal to "box"
(i.e. {"type": "box"}
) and any of the keys listed below. Each box spans from quartile 1 (Q1) to quartile 3 (Q3). The second quartile (Q2, i.e. the median) is marked by a line inside the box. The fences grow outward from the boxes' edges, by default they span +/- 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR: Q3-Q1), The sample mean and standard deviation as well as notches and the sample, outlier and suspected outliers points can be optionally added to the box plot. The values and positions corresponding to each boxes can be input using two signatures. The first signature expects users to supply the sample values in the `y` data array for vertical boxes (`x` for horizontal boxes). By supplying an `x` (`y`) array, one box per distinct `x` (`y`) value is drawn If no `x` (`y`) array is provided, a single box is drawn. In this case, the box is positioned with the trace `name` or with `x0` (`y0`) if provided. The second signature expects users to supply the boxes corresponding Q1, median and Q3 statistics in the `q1`, `median` and `q3` data arrays respectively. Other box features relying on statistics namely `lowerfence`, `upperfence`, `notchspan` can be set directly by the users. To have plotly compute them or to show sample points besides the boxes, users can set the `y` data array for vertical boxes (`x` for horizontal boxes) to a 2D array with the outer length corresponding to the number of boxes in the traces and the inner length corresponding the sample size.
- type
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: "box" - name
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: stringSets the trace name. The trace name appears as the legend item and on hover. For box traces, the name will also be used for the position coordinate, if `x` and `x0` (`y` and `y0` if horizontal) are missing and the position axis is categorical
- visible
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: enumerated , one of (true
|false
|"legendonly"
)
Default:true
Determines whether or not this trace is visible. If "legendonly", the trace is not drawn, but can appear as a legend item (provided that the legend itself is visible).
- showlegend
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: boolean
Default:true
Determines whether or not an item corresponding to this trace is shown in the legend.
- legend
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: subplotid
Default:legend
Sets the reference to a legend to show this trace in. References to these legends are "legend", "legend2", "legend3", etc. Settings for these legends are set in the layout, under `layout.legend`, `layout.legend2`, etc.
- legendrank
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: number
Default:1000
Sets the legend rank for this trace. Items and groups with smaller ranks are presented on top/left side while with "reversed" `legend.traceorder` they are on bottom/right side. The default legendrank is 1000, so that you can use ranks less than 1000 to place certain items before all unranked items, and ranks greater than 1000 to go after all unranked items. When having unranked or equal rank items shapes would be displayed after traces i.e. according to their order in data and layout.
- legendgroup
Parent:data[type=box]

- hovertemplate
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: string or array of strings
Default:""
Template string used for rendering the information that appear on hover box. Note that this will override `hoverinfo`. Variables are inserted using %{variable}, for example "y: %{y}" as well as %{xother}, {%_xother}, {%_xother_}, {%xother_}. When showing info for several points, "xother" will be added to those with different x positions from the first point. An underscore before or after "(x|y)other" will add a space on that side, only when this field is shown. Numbers are formatted using d3-format's syntax %{variable:d3-format}, for example "Price: %{y:$.2f}". https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format for details on the formatting syntax. Dates are formatted using d3-time-format's syntax %{variable|d3-time-format}, for example "Day: %{2019-01-01|%A}". https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format for details on the date formatting syntax. The variables available in `hovertemplate` are the ones emitted as event data described at this link https://plotly.com/javascript/plotlyjs-events/#event-data. Additionally, every attributes that can be specified per-point (the ones that are `arrayOk: true`) are available. Anything contained in tag `<extra>` is displayed in the secondary box, for example "<extra>{fullData.name}</extra>". To hide the secondary box completely, use an empty tag `<extra></extra>`.
- xhoverformat
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: string
Default:""
Sets the hover text formatting rulefor `x` using d3 formatting mini-languages which are very similar to those in Python. For numbers, see: https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format. And for dates see: https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format. We add two items to d3's date formatter: "%h" for half of the year as a decimal number as well as "%{n}f" for fractional seconds with n digits. For example, "2016-10-13 09:15:23.456" with tickformat "%H~%M~%S.%2f" would display "09~15~23.46"By default the values are formatted using `xaxis.hoverformat`.
- yhoverformat
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: string
Default:""
Sets the hover text formatting rulefor `y` using d3 formatting mini-languages which are very similar to those in Python. For numbers, see: https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format. And for dates see: https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format. We add two items to d3's date formatter: "%h" for half of the year as a decimal number as well as "%{n}f" for fractional seconds with n digits. For example, "2016-10-13 09:15:23.456" with tickformat "%H~%M~%S.%2f" would display "09~15~23.46"By default the values are formatted using `yaxis.hoverformat`.
- meta
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: number or categorical coordinate stringAssigns extra meta information associated with this trace that can be used in various text attributes. Attributes such as trace `name`, graph, axis and colorbar `title.text`, annotation `text` `rangeselector`, `updatemenues` and `sliders` `label` text all support `meta`. To access the trace `meta` values in an attribute in the same trace, simply use `%{meta[i]}` where `i` is the index or key of the `meta` item in question. To access trace `meta` in layout attributes, use `%{data[n[.meta[i]}` where `i` is the index or key of the `meta` and `n` is the trace index.

Parent:data[type=box]
Type: object containing one or more of the keys listed below. - boxmean
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: enumerated , one of (true
|"sd"
|false
)If "true", the mean of the box(es)' underlying distribution is drawn as a dashed line inside the box(es). If "sd" the standard deviation is also drawn. Defaults to "true" when `mean` is set. Defaults to "sd" when `sd` is set Otherwise defaults to "false".
- boxpoints
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: enumerated , one of ("all"
|"outliers"
|"suspectedoutliers"
|false
)If "outliers", only the sample points lying outside the whiskers are shown If "suspectedoutliers", the outlier points are shown and points either less than 4"Q1-3"Q3 or greater than 4"Q3-3"Q1 are highlighted (see `outliercolor`) If "all", all sample points are shown If "false", only the box(es) are shown with no sample points Defaults to "suspectedoutliers" when `marker.outliercolor` or `marker.line.outliercolor` is set. Defaults to "all" under the q1/median/q3 signature. Otherwise defaults to "outliers".
- notched
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: booleanDetermines whether or not notches are drawn. Notches displays a confidence interval around the median. We compute the confidence interval as median +/- 1.57 " IQR / sqrt(N), where IQR is the interquartile range and N is the sample size. If two boxes' notches do not overlap there is 95% confidence their medians differ. See https://sites.google.com/site/davidsstatistics/home/notched-box-plots for more info. Defaults to "false" unless `notchwidth` or `notchspan` is set.
- notchwidth
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: number between or equal to 0 and 0.5
Default:0.25
Sets the width of the notches relative to the box' width. For example, with 0, the notches are as wide as the box(es).

Parent:data[type=box]
Type: data arraySets the lower fence values. There should be as many items as the number of boxes desired. This attribute has effect only under the q1/median/q3 signature. If `lowerfence` is not provided but a sample (in `y` or `x`) is set, we compute the lower as the last sample point below 1.5 times the IQR.
- upperfence
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: data arraySets the upper fence values. There should be as many items as the number of boxes desired. This attribute has effect only under the q1/median/q3 signature. If `upperfence` is not provided but a sample (in `y` or `x`) is set, we compute the upper as the last sample point above 1.5 times the IQR.
- notchspan
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: data arraySets the notch span from the boxes' `median` values. There should be as many items as the number of boxes desired. This attribute has effect only under the q1/median/q3 signature. If `notchspan` is not provided but a sample (in `y` or `x`) is set, we compute it as 1.57 " IQR / sqrt(N), where N is the sample size.
- mean
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: data arraySets the mean values. There should be as many items as the number of boxes desired. This attribute has effect only under the q1/median/q3 signature. If `mean` is not provided but a sample (in `y` or `x`) is set, we compute the mean for each box using the sample values.
- sd
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: data arraySets the standard deviation values. There should be as many items as the number of boxes desired. This attribute has effect only under the q1/median/q3 signature. If `sd` is not provided but a sample (in `y` or `x`) is set, we compute the standard deviation for each box using the sample values.
- sdmultiple

The "exclusive" method uses the median to divide the ordered dataset into two halves if the sample is odd, it does not include the median in either half - Q1 is then the median of the lower half and Q3 the median of the upper half. The "inclusive" method also uses the median to divide the ordered dataset into two halves but if the sample is odd, it includes the median in both halves - Q1 is then the median of the lower half and Q3 the median of the upper half.

- uirevision
Parent:data[type=box]
Type: number or categorical coordinate stringControls persistence of some user-driven changes to the trace: `constraintrange` in `parcoords` traces, as well as some `editable: true` modifications such as `name` and `colorbar.title`. Defaults to `layout.uirevision`. Note that other user-driven trace attribute changes are controlled by `layout` attributes: `trace.visible` is controlled by `layout.legend.uirevision`, `selectedpoints` is controlled by `layout.selectionrevision`, and `colorbar.(x|y)` (accessible with `config: {editable: true}`) is controlled by `layout.editrevision`. Trace changes are tracked by `uid`, which only falls back on trace index if no `uid` is provided. So if your app can add/remove traces before the end of the `data` array, such that the same trace has a different index, you can still preserve user-driven changes if you give each trace a `uid` that stays with it as it moves.
