box#

Purpose#

Graphs data using the box graph percentile method.

Note

This function uses the deprecated PQG graphics. Use plotBox() instead.

pgraph

box(grp, y)#

Parameters:

grp (1xM vector) – This contains the group numbers corresponding to each column of y data. If scalar 0, a sequence from 1 to cols(y) will be generated automatically for the x-axis.
y (NxM matrix) – Each column represents the set of y values for an individual percentiles box symbol.

_pboxctl#

5x1 vector, controls box style, width, and color.

[1]	box width between 0 and 1. If zero, the box plot is drawn as two vertical lines representing the quartile ranges with a filled circle representing the 50th percentile.
[2]	box color. If this is set to 0, the colors may be individually controlled using the global variable `_pcolor`.
[3]	Min/max style for the box symbol. One of the following 1: Minimum and maximum taken from the actual limits of the data. Elements 4 and 5 are ignored. 2: Statistical standard with the minimum and maximum calculated according to interquartile range as follows: intqrange = 75th - 25th min = 25th - 1.5 intqrange max = 75th + 1.5 intqrange Elements 4 and 5 are ignored. 3: Minimum and maximum percentiles taken from elements 4 and 5.
[4]	Minimum percentile value (0-100) if _pboxctl[3] = 3.
[5]	Maximum percentile value (0-100) if _pboxctl[3] = 3.

_plctrl#

1xM vector or scalar as follows:

0	Plot boxes only, no symbols.
1	Plot boxes and plot symbols which lie outside the min and max box values.
2	Plot boxes and all symbols.
-1	Plot symbols only, no boxes.

These capabilities are in addition to the usual line control capabilities of _plctrl.

_pcolor#: 1xM vector or scalar for symbol colors. If scalar, all symbols will be one color.

If missing values are encountered in the y data, they will be ignored
