  • minimum and maximum value, 1.5x interquartile range [IQR] or custom percentile value (whiskers)

Other options:

  • Add static reference line(s)
  • Option to show outliers
  • Option to show median/mean indicators
  • Optional support for highlight and 'Fixed Categories'
  • Label formatting options, including font size and font family
