public final class BoxPlot
extends java.lang.Object

Provides access to the BoxPlot object

A boxplot is a way of summarizing a set of data measured on an interval scale. It is often used in exploratory data analysis. It is a type of graph which is used to show the shape of the distribution, its central value, and variability. The supported members of this class allow the developer to configure additional attributes for a BoxPlot statistical chart.

public BoxPlot()

Constructs a newly allocated BoxPlot object

Method Detail

isMonochrome

public boolean isMonochrome()

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the BoxPlot will be monochrome.

• When a chart is configured as Monochrome, the graph will only consist of one color.

• You may also configure a BoxPlot to be isNotched or to isShowOutliers. The Notched attribute instructs Chart FX to indent the quartile boxes painted for the graph. The ShowOutliers instructs the chart to paint small horizontal lines for values outside the lower and upper limits of the plot.

• To set the chart gallery to BoxPlot, you will need to assign the BoxPlot gallery type as the chart's gallery object:

To configure a BoxPlot as monochrome:

resetMonochrome

setMonochrome

public void setMonochrome(boolean value)

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the BoxPlot will be monochrome.

• When a chart is configured as Monochrome, the graph will only consist of one color.

• You may also configure a BoxPlot to be isNotched or to isShowOutliers. The Notched attribute instructs Chart FX to indent the quartile boxes painted for the graph. The ShowOutliers instructs the chart to paint small horizontal lines for values outside the lower and upper limits of the plot.

• To set the chart gallery to BoxPlot, you will need to assign the BoxPlot gallery type as the chart's gallery object:

To configure a BoxPlot as monochrome:

Parameters:

value -

isNotched

public boolean isNotched()

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the BoxPlot quartile boxes will indent.

• The notch has a fixed waist size, what varies is the height of it. The idea of the notch is that it allows you to compare two boxplots side by side. The notched indicates where the .95 percentile of the data falls. It is calculated as follows:

(1.57*IQR)/Math.Sqrt(n)

Where, 1.57 represents the .95 in a Normal distribution.

• To set the chart gallery to BoxPlot, you will need to assign the BoxPlot gallery type as the chart's gallery object:

• Use the isMonochrome method to instruct the chart plot to be painted in one color. When Monochrome is set to false, Chart FX uses multiple colors to paint the BoxPlot gallery.

• The isShowOutliers method instructs the chart to paint small horizontal lines for values outside the lower and upper limits of the plot.

To set the isNotched method to false:

isShowOutliers

public boolean isShowOutliers()

Gets or sets a value instructing the chart to paint small horizontal lines for values outside the lower and upper limits of the plot.

• To set the chart gallery to BoxPlot, you will need to assign the BoxPlot gallery type as the chart's gallery object:

• Use the isMonochrome method to instruct the chart plot to be painted in one color. When Monochrome is set to false, Chart FX uses multiple colors to paint the BoxPlot gallery.

• The isNotched attribute instructs Chart FX to indent the quartile boxes painted for the graph.

To display outliers for the boxplot:

setShowOutliers

public void setShowOutliers(boolean value)

Gets or sets a value instructing the chart to paint small horizontal lines for values outside the lower and upper limits of the plot.
