Following the provided example I built a function that draws a box plot to a jQuery accordion tab, which has a certain fixed height & width. The amount of distinct categories varies greatly depending on the incoming data. Currently I'd like to achieve the following in the plotting:
1) Add axes and display labels, like in this picture
2) Always fit the boxes to container width and height. Currently I see that if there are too many categories, some of them end on the second row, ensuring they're not fully seen. In the picture, the div contains 7 boxes but only 4 fit on one row:
The question is how can these two be implemented? I couldn't even figure out a way to reliably reduce the padding between the boxes without eating into the side numbers on the boxes.
I adopted the original d3.js example to include axes:

Instead of using individual svg elements as in Mike's implementation, here all boxplots are rendered with in one root element. This makes it easy to add axes.
Best,

For the time being I'm using a hack found at Highcharts forum (jsfiddle here). There's also a box plot implementation made with Raphael.js that looks cool (github, example)

I tried to give each rectangle a different color but unfortunately it did not work
I want the horizontal distance between those two rectangles to be zero
Here is what I want:
And here is the code and result: http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/rP9FIyD04CNl-ocMUXEAIMn198PYeE1PZu9iacawT3CRPgSjMlpkhfiISoXuyEISNjuly-V1hhmObdrdbTyXzOPDfviUzI999exVciOTaLgzCTR3X5IcthNizjJKpZhMmePyG42YrEG_XbeCjHRqIUbGiQLqJC0wNKRhMO31oNiFQqTInd5NbGqB8hveFexhpsWTQs2E6-2pdoJBzAvKwZDSzNFBBFVu0VTPLhoWXEyql_asYbSQG5hacx1MnsmFnoqA54W7z5XPc1-01MjZvo5mZTIEpM-X_ZZYMZy9T3eTLJQgszdfjnpPlyWngiK5jHnIhe2Qy3g_0000
but the most important thing to set the horizontal distance between these two rectangle to zero
It's not possible to do a 0 horizontal distance between two rectangles in PlantUML. You could do a table in Creole, but it won't look like your example, since the lines (rows) would be aligned in a table.
When I see your usage, I think you'd be better off using DOT (GraphViz). You can wrap DOT code in #startdot/#enddot in a PlantUML engine and it will draw the diagram. For example:
https://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/TP1HIyCm58NVyol2_GDJvfj9MDkK8PIbn88FOm_PShN5q9OqeY3-TvDfApBMXzwSd2_dmDrCmVXWXq1iz-BDsD8f-BTJcEWdeV7h1ujqFxLcH3uwq_K1Fy8XMR_WckwTEQBZZB0cowkIvahBKdEu0LgKLJNBsn_vM6V5mswxs7KcvLdV0SstXQfKP7KfGSGIrkWqqa5IhPxYuns7DOWMdHjOhbVYVV3EibKZ_y0Oie37sOfJNqGkXMFNlu8udU5ar4et75hq2CBEjmAlX5tMFlydup-jHeZ3FVaY6-njtFWt
But, since you're writing lower-level DOT, you need to use that syntax to lay everything out. There is much more control, but it's no longer PlantUML.
I just wanted to know if it is possible to link different figures x-axes (as it can be done using subplots with shared_xaxes) in order to see the same range once zoom in or zoom out are performed. I highlight 'different figures'.
Thank you.
Do you know if this chart, as shown in the following image, can be done in Excel?
Chart:
I don't even know how this kind of chart is named, so I cannot search in the web for tutorials. I don't need to display three points on every row as in this chart (one is enough), and even I can mark the control group manually.
Yes this can be done in Excel.
If you want vertical orientation like on the picture above, then you should probably use the Scatter chart with quite some modifications. You would set the x values of the series to your values and the y values can be just 1,2,3,4,5.... The biggest problem with this approach would be how to display the correct categories. There is a tool to help you do that and it is discussed here: https://superuser.com/questions/485883/how-to-create-dynamic-scatter-plot-matrix-with-labels-and-categories-on-both-axi
For horizontal one you can use a normal line chart - with hidden line and only markers visible (Excel doesn't support vertical line graphs).
Even three groups are easy to do, you just need to add three series and format them accordingly.
The lines are also quite easy to do, you add minor / major gridlines to the chart and then format those as well.
I'm trying to combine several box plots across categories of different size.
Here is an example illustrating problem:
sysuse auto
graph box mpg, by(rep78, rows(1)) name(g1, replace )
graph box mpg, by(foreign, rows(1)) name(g2, replace )
graph combine g1 g2 , ycom r(2)
This gives me the following results.
All works according to the manual so for but I have two problems with this output.
Firstly - aesthetics. Personally, I think plot with the same width across rows would look better.
Secondly, and more importantly - on more complex graphs the font size for categories, axes, etc. is also sized proportionally. So even if I specify, let's say - medium size of axis label on all graphs - some of them will be slightly bigger or smaller.
I was wondering if there is an option to programmatically force width of second row of box plots to have the same size as the first one.
Is this you want? It is based on a trick, but the trick is quite general.
sysuse auto, clear
expand 2
gen what = cond(_n <= 74, rep78, 6 + foreign)
label def what 6 Domestic 7 Foreign
label val what what
graph box mpg, by(what, note("Repair record and Foreign") row(2) holes(8 9 10))
The logic is that
The two categorical variables are combined lengthwise. That ensures that each box plot will be the same size.
By specifying holes, we persuade graph box to put graphs on two rows.
I guess that your label size problem will disappear once 1 is solved.
For even more flexibility, you may need to abandon graph box and use twoway instead. A detailed discussion was given by me in the Stata Journal in 2009: you can go straight to http://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.html?articlenum=gr0039
I saw some Core-plot sample. Is there anything equivalent that will do my task easily? I also want to know feasibility with Core-plot in iPhone. (any issues with core-plot)
I want to have multi-colored vertical bar chart. Is it possible to customize Core-plot framework. Using only one barplot can we have multiple segment on it.
Thank you.

To make a stacked bar plot, you need to make multiple plots, one for each segment. On all but the bottom plot, set barBasesVary to YES. The datasource will ask for a third field called CPTBarPlotFieldBarBase which is the base value for the bar. You will have to do the stacking calculations yourself.
The horizontal lines can be drawn using an additional bar plot. Give the bars a short height (tip - base). You can make the width wider than the others if you want--each plot is independent.
The space between the bars depends on several factors. By default, bar widths are specified in data coordinates. For example, if the bar locations are one unit apart, a bar width of 0.5 will make the bar width and the space between the bars equal; a bar width of 0.75 will make the space 1/3 of the bar width. The actual width in pixels depends on the size of the graph and how many bars are visible (determined by the plot range along that axis). If barWidthsAreInViewCoordinates is YES, then bar widths are given in pixels which keeps them the same apparent width as the plot range changes, but the space between them will change with the plot range.
