Boxplot

Use a boxplot to compare quantiles and outliers for a governed numeric field.

Every preview on this page is generated from the YAML shown below it using a fixed documentation dataset.

Delivery distribution

Select a numeric field, a semantic grouping dimension, and explicit quantiles so LeapView can derive comparable quartiles, medians, whiskers, and outliers.

outliers: omit requires whiskers and filters observations to the whisker range before computing every displayed statistic. outliers: include uses all numeric observations and cannot be combined with whiskers. Boxplots expose the derived distribution only; they do not render separate outlier points.

Key fields

Review distribution

Swap the numeric field to compare review-score spread with the same distribution shape.

Key fields

visuals:
  review_distribution:
    title: Review score distribution
    type: boxplot
    query:
      type: distribution
      field: review_score

        upper: 0.95
    presentation:
      type: cartesian

Zoomable distribution

Use revenue as the numeric field and enable presentation.dataZoom when the range contains values that benefit from closer inspection.

Key fields

    title: Revenue distribution
    type: boxplot
    presentation:
      type: cartesian
      dataZoom: true
    query:
      type: distribution
      field: revenue
      group: category
      quantiles:
      - 0.25
      - 0.5
      - 0.75
      outliers: omit
      approximation: exact
      whiskers:
        lower: 0.05
        upper: 0.95
      limit: 12

API reference
