Box Plot
Check out the below given walk-through on how to use the Box Plot chart component in Designer module.
A box plot or whisker plot chart uses boxes and lines to depict the distributions of one or more groups of numeric data.
Box limits indicate the range of the central 50% of the data, with a central line marking the median value.
Lines extend from each box to capture the range of the remaining data, with dots placed past the line edges to indicate outliers.
The Box Plot chart helps to visualize the dataset in 5 number summaries (Min-Max-Q1-Q3-Median) along with the outliers.
Best Situation to use Box Plot chart
To show distributions of numeric data values
To compare multiple groups.
Consider the order of the groups.
Variations of this chart
Letter-Value Plots: It is an extension of the standard box plot. Letter-value plots use multiple boxes to enclose increasingly-larger proportions of the dataset.
Violin Plot: It is another alternative to the Box Plot wherein each group's distribution is indicated by a density curve.
