Thought so. Thanks for confirmation. > Gnuplot has an extremely > comprehensive built in help system, typing "help boxplot" at the gnuplot > REPL returns the following. My gnuplot (Version 4.4 patchlevel 2) returns: ,---- | gnuplot> help boxplot | Sorry, no help for 'boxplot' | gnuplot> `---- gnuplot-doc is installed. Do I miss something else? «help candlestick» works. Is «boxplot» a part of an additional extension package? > Also see the help for "candlestick".

And now I also understand the problem I had: I thought that gnuplot is able to derive min/max whisker min/max from the data columns by itself. Well - this is bad news to me since I do not see any reasonable way to use gnuplot for that purpose. I might need to learn R or Python/matplotlib :-( Thanks for your help anyway! -- Karl Voit
