Thoughts?\r\n\r\nattn @phobson who has been involved in boxplots, IIRC.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/anntzer","@type":"Person","name":"anntzer"},"datePublished":"2019-02-14T16:07:46.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":11},"url":"https://github.com/13435/matplotlib/issues/13435"}
