Box Plot Chart

  • Demo Configurator
Outliers Settings
Extremes Settings

The demo shows the Box Plot chart type (it uses BoxPlotSeries) in the ASP.NET AJAX Chart, which is useful for comparing distributions between different sets of numerical data. With OutliersAppearance and ExtremesAppearance properties, you can control the visual settings of certain data points, whose value is far too big or far too small in comparison to the rest of the items.

You can manually customize the configurators and see how setting each of the properties affects the chart.
