matplotlib box code example

Example 1: python boxplot show mean

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

data_to_plot = np.random.rand(100,5)

fig = plt.figure(1, figsize=(9, 6))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)    
bp = ax.boxplot(data_to_plot, showmeans=True)

plt.show()

Example 2: python matplotlib boxplot

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Fixing random state for reproducibility
np.random.seed(19680801)

# fake up some data
spread = np.random.rand(50) * 100
center = np.ones(25) * 50
flier_high = np.random.rand(10) * 100 + 100
flier_low = np.random.rand(10) * -100
data = np.concatenate((spread, center, flier_high, flier_low))

fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots()
ax1.set_title('Basic Plot')
ax1.boxplot(data)
