This is a box plot (plot type <a class="link" href="conc-plottypes.html#plottype-boxes" title="3.4.3. Plot Type: boxes (Box Plot)">boxes</a>),
without outliers.
This example also shows how a PHP function might be used to create a PHPlot
data array from experimental results. The input data is a series of lists
of test results, and the output is a PHPlot data array for a box plot, with
rows in the form <code class="literal">(label, Ymin, YQ1, Ymid, YQ3, Ymax)</code>.
</p><p>
Note: Box plots were added in PHPlot-6.1.0.
