[Matplotlib-users] Boxplot quartiles

[Matthew Bradley]

Hi all,

I have the following array:

x = np.array([1920.5508, 513.4158, 1071.6049, 1412.2137, 1378.3534,
561.4679])

when I put it into a boxplot it shows a boxplot with values that I would
get from np.percentile:

np.percentile(x,[0,25,50,75,100],interpolation='linear')
>>>array([ 513.4158 , 689.00215 , 1224.97915 , 1403.748625, 1920.5508 ])

I would like for the 1st and 3rd quartile to be calculated with a different
interpolation and then display these different values in the boxplot, i.e.

np.percentile(x,25,interpolation='lower')
>>>561.4679

np.percentile(x,75,interpolation='higher')
>>>1412.2137

Does anyone know if matplotlib can set which type of interpolation to use
when it's calculating the percentiles?

Thanks for your help!
