In this section, we will introduce the iris dataset (Frank, A. & Asuncion, A. (2010). UCI Machine Learning Repository (http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml). Irvine, CA: University of California, School of Information and Computer Science. Iris dataset: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Iris) with some screenshots from the views (without their controls).
The Conditional Box Plot and the Box Plot nodes' views look similar. These are also sometimes called box-and-whisker diagrams. The Box Plot node visualizes the values of different columns, while the Conditional Box Plot view shows one column's values grouped by a nominal column's values. As you can see in the screenshot, the HiLite information is visible for the outliers (but only for those values). You can also select the outliers and HiLite them.
The shape of the outlier points is not influenced by the shape property.
