Details

This article from InSource shows how the Box and Whisker Plot is one of the charting options found in the Wonderware Intelligence Analytics client.  It displays the distribution for a set of data.  The plot has a central rectangle with the bottom half shaded forming a box and two lines marking the end of each whisker.

 

Note:  This type of plot works best for actuals rather than aggregates.

 

The points are plotted on a single line to determine the location of the Box and Whisker plot.
