pyvista.plotting.charts.BoxPlot

class BoxPlot(*args, **kwargs)

Class representing a box plot.

Users should typically not directly create new plot instances, but use the dedicated ChartBox class.

Parameters:

chartChartBox

The chart containing this plot.

datasequence[array_like]

Dataset(s) from which the relevant statistics will be calculated used to draw the box plot.

colorssequence[ColorLike], optional

Color of the boxes drawn in this plot. Any color parsable by pyvista.Color is allowed. If omitted (None), the default color scheme is used.

labelssequence[str], default: []

Label for each box drawn in this plot, as shown in the chart’s legend.

Examples

Create boxplots for datasets sampled from shifted normal distributions.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> import numpy as np
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng(
...     1
... )  # Seeded random number generator used for data generation
>>> normal_data = [rng.normal(i, size=50) for i in range(5)]
>>> chart = pv.ChartBox(
...     normal_data, labels=[f'x ~ N({i},1)' for i in range(5)]
... )
>>> chart.show()
