Box Plots - manually supply median and quartiles (performance for alrge sample sizes)

[etienne]

Thanks for writing in.

@PragTob

the question is is there an interface into plotly.js box plots where I can manually specify the median, quartilles, outlier points etc. instead of handing the raw data to plotly.js and letting it do the computation?

Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to do this right now.

You might want to look at Allow plotly objects to use aggregated / precomputed statistics. · Issue #242 · plotly/plotly.js · GitHub for a possible workaround.

I’m thinking more and more box traces should allow for pre-computed statistics (referencing Boxplot quartile seem's wrong). Unfortunately, it won’t be a high priority for us in the next few months. I’d recommend subscribing to Allow precomputed statistics input for box traces · Issue #1059 · plotly/plotly.js · GitHub for the latest info.
