_boxplot_doc = """
Make a box plot from DataFrame columns.
Make a box-and-whisker plot from DataFrame columns, optionally grouped
by some other columns. A box plot is a method for graphically depicting
groups of numerical data through their quartiles.
The box extends from the Q1 to Q3 quartile values of the data,
with a line at the median (Q2). The whiskers extend from the edges
of box to show the range of the data. By default, they extend no more than
`1.5 * IQR (IQR = Q3 - Q1)` from the edges of the box, ending at the farthest
data point within that interval. Outliers are plotted as separate dots.
For further details see
Wikipedia's entry for `boxplot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot>`_.
Parameters
----------
column : str or list of str, optional
Column name or list of names, or vector.
Can be any valid input to :meth:`pandas.DataFrame.groupby`.
by : str or array-like, optional
Column in the DataFrame to :meth:`pandas.DataFrame.groupby`.
One box-plot will be done per value of columns in `by`.
ax : object of class matplotlib.axes.Axes, optional
The matplotlib axes to be used by boxplot.
fontsize : float or str
Tick label font size in points or as a string (e.g., `large`).
rot : int or float, default 0
The rotation angle of labels (in degrees)
with respect to the screen coordinate system.
grid : bool, default True
Setting this to True will show the grid.
figsize : A tuple (width, height) in inches
The size of the figure to create in matplotlib.
layout : tuple (rows, columns), optional
For example, (3, 5) will display the subplots
using 3 columns and 5 rows, starting from the top-left.
return_type : {'axes', 'dict', 'both'} or None, default 'axes'
The kind of object to return. The default is ``axes``.
* 'axes' returns the matplotlib axes the boxplot is drawn on.
* 'dict' returns a dictionary whose values are the matplotlib
Lines of the boxplot.
* 'both' returns a namedtuple with the axes and dict.
* when grouping with ``by``, a Series mapping columns to
``return_type`` is returned.
If ``return_type`` is `None`, a NumPy array
of axes with the same shape as ``layout`` is returned.
%(backend)s\
**kwargs
All other plotting keyword arguments to be passed to
:func:`matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot`.
Returns
-------
result
See Notes.
See Also
--------
Series.plot.hist: Make a histogram.
matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot : Matplotlib equivalent plot.
Notes
-----
The return type depends on the `return_type` parameter:
* 'axes' : object of class matplotlib.axes.Axes
* 'dict' : dict of matplotlib.lines.Line2D objects
* 'both' : a namedtuple with structure (ax, lines)
For data grouped with ``by``, return a Series of the above or a numpy
array:
* :class:`~pandas.Series`
* :class:`~numpy.array` (for ``return_type = None``)
Use ``return_type='dict'`` when you want to tweak the appearance
of the lines after plotting. In this case a dict containing the Lines
making up the boxes, caps, fliers, medians, and whiskers is returned.
Examples
--------
Boxplots can be created for every column in the dataframe
by ``df.boxplot()`` or indicating the columns to be used:
.. plot::
:context: close-figs
>>> np.random.seed(1234)
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4),
... columns=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3', 'Col4'])
>>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3'])
Boxplots of variables distributions grouped by the values of a third
variable can be created using the option ``by``. For instance:
.. plot::
:context: close-figs
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 2),
... columns=['Col1', 'Col2'])
>>> df['X'] = pd.Series(['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'A',
... 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B'])
>>> boxplot = df.boxplot(by='X')
A list of strings (i.e. ``['X', 'Y']``) can be passed to boxplot
in order to group the data by combination of the variables in the x-axis:
.. plot::
:context: close-figs
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 3),
... columns=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3'])
>>> df['X'] = pd.Series(['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'A',
... 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B'])
>>> df['Y'] = pd.Series(['A', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'A',
... 'B', 'A', 'B', 'A', 'B'])
>>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by=['X', 'Y'])
The layout of boxplot can be adjusted giving a tuple to ``layout``:
.. plot::
:context: close-figs
>>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by='X',
... layout=(2, 1))
Additional formatting can be done to the boxplot, like suppressing the grid
(``grid=False``), rotating the labels in the x-axis (i.e. ``rot=45``)
or changing the fontsize (i.e. ``fontsize=15``):
.. plot::
:context: close-figs
>>> boxplot = df.boxplot(grid=False, rot=45, fontsize=15)
The parameter ``return_type`` can be used to select the type of element
returned by `boxplot`. When ``return_type='axes'`` is selected,
the matplotlib axes on which the boxplot is drawn are returned:
>>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], return_type='axes')
>>> type(boxplot)
<class 'matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot'>
When grouping with ``by``, a Series mapping columns to ``return_type``
is returned:
>>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by='X',
... return_type='axes')
>>> type(boxplot)
<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>
If ``return_type`` is `None`, a NumPy array of axes with the same shape
as ``layout`` is returned:
>>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by='X',
... return_type=None)
>>> type(boxplot)
<class 'numpy.ndarray'>

Parameters
----------
x : label or position, optional

y : label or position, optional

color : str, array_like, or dict, optional
The color for each of the DataFrame's columns. Possible values are:
- A single color string referred to by name, RGB or RGBA code,
for instance 'red' or '#a98d19'.
- A sequence of color strings referred to by name, RGB or RGBA
code, which will be used for each column recursively. For
instance ['green','yellow'] each column's %(kind)s will be filled in
green or yellow, alternatively.
- A dict of the form {column name : color}, so that each column will be
colored accordingly. For example, if your columns are called `a` and
`b`, then passing {'a': 'green', 'b': 'red'} will color %(kind)ss for
column `a` in green and %(kind)ss for column `b` in red.

Make a box plot of the DataFrame columns.
A box plot is a method for graphically depicting groups of numerical

The box extends from the Q1 to Q3 quartile values of the data,
with a line at the median (Q2). The whiskers extend from the edges
of box to show the range of the data. The position of the whiskers
is set by default to 1.5*IQR (IQR = Q3 - Q1) from the edges of the
box. Outlier points are those past the end of the whiskers.
For further details see Wikipedia's
entry for `boxplot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot>`__.
A consideration when using this chart is that the box and the whiskers
can overlap, which is very common when plotting small sets of data.

Parameters
----------

Generate a hexagonal binning plot of `x` versus `y`. If `C` is `None`

C : int or str, optional
