Hi Herbie,
a vertical box with whiskers is defined by 6 coordinates:
one x-value, followed by 5 y-values (quartiles) in increasing order.
The example below is copied from:
Help>Examples>Plots>Shapes
Here, the second box+whiskers is defined by values 1,1,3,4,5,6
(x, y1, y2, y3, y4, y5)
//function verticalBoxesAndWhiskers()
Plot.create("Vertical Boxes and Whiskers_", "X", "Y");
Plot.setFrameSize(600, 350);
Plot.setLimits(-1, 4, 0, 7);
xxCenter = Array.getSequence(4);
yy1 = newArray(1,1,1,1);//First Quartiles
yy2 = newArray(2,3,2,2);
yy3 = newArray(3,4,3,3);//Medians
yy4 = newArray(4,5,4,4);
yy5 = newArray(5,6,5,5);
Plot.setLineWidth(2);
Plot.setColor("blue", "#ccccff");
Plot.drawShapes("boxes width=30", xxCenter, yy1, yy2, yy3, yy4, yy5);
Plot.setLineWidth(1);
Plot.show;
