Boxplot

Use a boxplot to compare the distribution of a raw measure across categories.

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

Delivery distribution

Set query.table and select a numeric measure so LeapView can derive the quartiles, median, whiskers, and outliers from raw delivery values.

Key fields

visuals:
  delivery_distribution:
    title: Delivery day distribution
    description: Summarizes delivery-day distribution by speed bucket.
    type: boxplot
    query:
      table: orders
      dimensions:
        delivery_bucket: orders.delivery_bucket
      measures:
        delivery_days: null
      sort:
        - field: delivery_bucket
          direction: asc

Review distribution

Swap the numeric measure to compare review-score spread with the same distribution shape and raw-table query path.

Key fields

visuals:
  review_distribution:
    title: Review score distribution
    type: boxplot
    query:
      table: orders
      dimensions:
        status: orders.status
      measures:
        review_score: null
      sort:
        - field: status
          direction: asc

Zoomable distribution

Use revenue as the raw measure and enable presentation.data_zoom when the range contains values that benefit from closer inspection.

Key fields

visuals:
  revenue_distribution:
    title: Revenue distribution
    type: boxplot
    presentation:
      data_zoom: true
    query:
      table: orders
      dimensions:
        category: orders.category
      measures:
        revenue: null
      sort:
        - field: category
          direction: desc
      limit: 12

API reference

Kind: chart. Renderer: echarts. Supported result shapes: distribution.

Field	Type	Default	Allowed values	Description
`query.dimensions`	`field mapping`	—	—	Groups query results and supplies category, hierarchy, matrix, graph, or geographic labels.
`query.limit`	`integer`	`no limit`	`positive integer`	Caps the number of rows returned to the renderer.
`query.measures`	`measure mapping`	—	—	Selects the governed semantic measures consumed by the visual shape.
`query.sort`	`sort list`	—	—	Orders query results by a returned field or measure alias.
`query.table`	`string`	—	—	Selects the fact table when the semantic model cannot infer one from the referenced fields.
`presentation.data_zoom`	`boolean`	`false`	`true` `false`	Adds inside and slider zoom controls to supported Cartesian charts.

Accessibility. Use a descriptive title and unit, and do not rely on color alone to distinguish series or values.
