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.

Bottom of Box – 1^st Quartile

Top of Box – 3^rd Quartile

Shaded Band Top – Median or 2^nd Quartile

Whiskers – Plotted at the Median Absolute Deviation (1.5 times the interquartile range) or the Maximum Extent of the Data.
