Make box plots using summary statistics

One of the most useful things about summary statistics and box plots is that you can use it to downsize data from large data sets to a few values. Also, some times you do not have the raw data and you want to plot a box plot from the summary stats. (median, inter-quartile range, 99.7/0.03 percentile)
Is this possible to do this in plotly, or possible to plot dummy box plots and then edit there attributes, as you can do in matplotlib.

  • Rows for different classes.

In an ideal world, the different outlier algorithms would be exposed too.

Here is how matplotlib does it:
