I guess then yours will be a non-standard box-plot because in a regular
boxplot median is at 50th percentile, and the edges are at 25 and 75th
respectively. There is no consensus for whiskers some uses 5 and 95 some 10
- 90 or you could come up with your own pair. Don't get surprised if you see
different results for different percentiles. See at
http://old.nabble.com/incorrect-boxplot--td25440025.html
Probably you don't seek something like boxplot's widths kw arg if I
understand you right?
