`.boxplot`

class: `BoxPlotData`

class BoxPlotData(**kwargs)[source]

Variant of CartesianData which is used for data points in a boxplot.

Class Inheritance

copy(other=None, overwrite=True, **kwargs)

Copy the configuration settings from this instance to the other instance.

Parameters:

other (HighchartsMeta) – The target instance to which the properties of this instance should be copied. If None, will create a new instance and populate it with properties copied from self. Defaults to None.
overwrite (bool) – if True, properties in other that are already set will be overwritten by their counterparts in self. Defaults to True.
kwargs – Additional keyword arguments. Some special descendents of HighchartsMeta may have special implementations of this method which rely on additional keyword arguments.

Returns:

A mutated version of other with new property values

classmethod from_array(value)[source]

Creates a collection of data point instances, parsing the contents of value as an array (iterable). This method is specifically used to parse data that is input to Highcharts for Python without property names, in an array-organized structure as described in the Highcharts JS documentation.

See also

The specific structure of the expected array is highly dependent on the type of data point that the series needs, which itself is dependent on the series type itself.

Please review the detailed series documentation for series type-specific details of relevant array structures.

Note

An example of how this works for a simple LineSeries (which uses CartesianData data points) would be:

my_series = LineSeries()

# A simple array of numerical values which correspond to the Y value of the
# data point
my_series.data = [0, 5, 3, 5]

# An array containing 2-member arrays (corresponding to the X and Y values
# of the data point)
my_series.data = [
    [0, 0],
    [1, 5],
    [2, 3],
    [3, 5]
]

# An array of dict with named values
my_series.data = [
  {
      'x': 0,
      'y': 0,
      'name': 'Point1',
      'color': '#00FF00'
  },
  {
      'x': 1,
      'y': 5,
      'name': 'Point2',
      'color': '#CCC'
  },
  {
      'x': 2,
      'y': 3,
      'name': 'Point3',
      'color': '#999'
  },
  {
      'x': 3,
      'y': 5,
      'name': 'Point4',
      'color': '#000'
  }
]

Parameters:

value (iterable) –

The value that should contain the data which will be converted into data point instances.

Note

If value is not an iterable, it will be converted into an iterable to be further de-serialized correctly.

Returns:

Collection of data point instances (descended from DataBase)

Return type:

list of DataBase descendant instances

to_dict() → dict

Generate a dict representation of the object compatible with the Highcharts JavaScript library.

Note

Returns:: A dict representation of the object.
Return type:: dict

to_js_literal(filename=None, encoding='utf-8') → str | None

Return the object represented as a str containing the JavaScript object literal.

Parameters:

filename (Path-like) – The name of a file to which the JavaScript object literal should be persisted. Defaults to None
encoding (str) – The character encoding to apply to the resulting object. Defaults to 'utf-8'.

Return type:

str or None

to_json(filename=None, encoding='utf-8')

Generate a JSON string/byte string representation of the object compatible with the Highcharts JavaScript library.

Note

This method will either return a standard str or a bytes object depending on the JSON serialization library you are using. For example, if your environment has orjson, the result will be a bytes representation of the string.

Parameters:

filename (Path-like) – The name of a file to which the JSON string should be persisted. Defaults to None
encoding (str) – The character encoding to apply to the resulting object. Defaults to 'utf-8'.

Returns:

A JSON representation of the object compatible with the Highcharts library.

Return type:

str or bytes
