boxplot_fromstats

Create a fake box and whisker plot from pre-determined statistics (mean, standard deviation, and min/max).

Given pre-determined statistics (mean, standard deviation, and min/max), BOXPLOT_FROMSTATS uses errorbar.m and patch.m to create a fake box and whisker plot, similar to boxchart.m. Options include customizing colormap, width of box, and linewidth.

Sample code:

    data = randn(5,10)*2+31;
    means = mean(data');
    stds = std(data');
    mins = min(data');
    maxs = max(data');
    % -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    lw = 1.2;
    cmap = jet(length(means));
    % - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    figure; clf; hold on; 
    boxplot_fromstats(gca,means,stds,mins,maxs,{'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'},...
        'cmap', cmap, 'LineWidth',lw)
    ylim([25 38])
    ylabel('Temperature (^oC)')
    grid on; box on;
    set(gca, 'FontSize', 14)
