Tk::Chart::Boxplots is an extension of the Canvas widget. It is an easy way to build interactive boxplots (also known as a box-and-whisker diagram or plot) graph into your Perl Tk widget. The module is written entirely in Perl/Tk.
You can set a background gradient color.
You can change the color, font of title, labels (x and y) of the graph. You can set an interactive legend. The axes can be automatically scaled or set by the code.
When the mouse cursor passes over a boxplot, its outlier or its entry in the legend, the boxplot and its entry will be turned to a color (that you can change) to help identify it.
You can use 3 methods to zoom (vertically, horizontally or both).
You can set a background gradient color by using all methods of the Tk::Canvas::GradientColor manpage. By default, it is not enabled.
To enabled background gradient color the first time, you firstly have to call enabled_gradientcolor method and configure your color and type of gradient with set_gradientcolor.
$chart->enabled_gradientcolor(); $chart->set_gradientcolor( -start_color => '#6585ED', -end_color => '#FFFFFF', );
Please, read WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS in the Tk::Canvas::GradientColor manpage documentation to know all available configurations.

Default : 1
See WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS in the Tk::Chart::Lines manpage
The Canvas method creates a widget object. This object supports the configure and cget methods described in Tk::options which can be used to enquire and modify the options described above.
Fill an array of arrays with the values of the datasets (\@data). Make sure that every array has the same size, otherwise Tk::Chart::Lines will complain and refuse to compile the graph.
my $one = [ 210 .. 275 ]; my $two = [ 180, 190, 200, 220, 235, 245 ]; my $three = [ 40, 140 .. 150, 160 .. 180, 250 ]; my $four = [ 100 .. 125, 136 .. 140 ]; my $five = [ 10 .. 50, 100, 180 ]; my @newdata = ( $one, $two, $three, $four, $five ); $chart->add_data( \@newdata, 'new legend' );
If your last graph has a legend, you have to add a legend entry for the new dataset. Otherwise, the legend graph will not be display (see below).
$legendmy $legend = 'New data set'; $chart->add_data(\@newdata, $legend);
my $ref_array_information = $chart->boxplot_information(); # Print information of boxplot @{$data[2][3]} (2th sample, 4th data ) print "Boxplot @{$data[2][3]} (2th sample, 4th data )\n"; print "Outliers : @{$ref_array_information->[1][3]->{outliers}}\n"; print '25th percentile (Q1) : ', $ref_array_information->[1][3]->{Q1}, "\n"; print '75th percentile (Q3) :', $ref_array_information->[1][3]->{Q3}, "\n"; print 'Smallest non-outlier : ', $ref_array_information->[1][3]->{smallest_non_outlier}, "\n"; print 'Largest non-outlier :', $ref_array_information->[1][3]->{largest_non_outlier}, "\n"; print 'Median : ', $ref_array_information->[1][3]->{median}, "\n"; print 'Mean : ', $ref_array_information->[1][3]->{mean}, "\n";
if you have this data :
my @data = ( [ '1st', '2nd', '3rd', '4th', '5th' ], [ [ list data00 ], [list data01], [list data02], ], [ [ list data10 ], [list data11], [list data12], ], [ [ list data20 ], [list data21], [list data22], ], #... );
To get the informations about boxplot list data21, you have to read hash reference like this :
$ref_hash_information = $ref_array_information->[2][1]; # 25th percentile (Q1) print $ref_hash_information->{Q1}; # Smallest non-outlier print $ref_hash_information->{smallest_non_outlier};
The quantile is calculated with the same algorithm as Excel and type 7 quantile R package.
$chart->disabled_automatic_redraw;
$chart->enabled_automatic_redraw;
Fill an array of arrays with the x values and the values of the datasets (\@data). Make sure that every array have the same size, otherwise Tk::Chart::Boxplots will complain and refuse to compile the graph.
my @data = ( [ '1st', '2nd', '3rd', '4th', '5th' ], [ [100 .. 125, 136 .. 140 ], [22..89], [12,54,88,10], [12,11,23,14..98,45], [0..55,11,12] ], [ [-25..-5, 1..15], [-45, 25..45, 100], [70, 42..125], [100, 30, 88, 95, 115, 155], [180..250] ], #... ); @data have to contain a least two arrays, the x values and the values of the datasets. Each boxplot (array eg: [22..89]) have to contain at least 4 data.
[22,1,14] => wrong
If you don't have a value for a point in a dataset, you can use undef, and the point will be skipped.
[ undef, [22..89], [12,54,88,10], undef, [0..55,11,12] ],-substitutionvalue => real number,
If you have a no real number value in a dataset, it will be replaced by a constant value.
Default : 0
my @data = ( [ '1st', '2nd', '3rd', '4th', '5th', '6th', '7th', '8th', '9th' ], [ 1, '--', 5, 6, 3, 1.5, 1, 3, 4 ], [ 'mistake', 2, 5, 2, 3, 'NA', 7, 9, 4 ], [ 1, 2, 52, 6, 3, 17.5, 1, 43, 4 ], ); $chart->plot( \@data, -substitutionvalue => '12', ); # mistake, -- and NA will be replace by 12
-substitutionvalue have to be a real number (Eg : 12, .25, 02.25, 5.2e+11, ...)
Redraw the graph.
If you have used clearchart for any reason, it is possible to redraw the graph. Tk::Chart::Boxplots supports the configure and cget methods described in the the Tk::options manpage manpage. If you use configure method to change a widget specific option, the modification will not be display. If the graph was already displayed and if you not resize the widget, call redraw method to resolv the bug.
... $mw->Button( -text => 'Change xlabel', -command => sub { $chart->configure(-xlabel => 'red'); }, )->pack; ... # xlabel will be changed but not displayed if you not resize the widget. ... $mw->Button( -text => 'Change xlabel', -command => sub { $chart->configure(-xlabel => 'red'); $chart->redraw; } )->pack; ... # OK, xlabel will be changed and displayed without resize the widget.
Set a background color for the balloon.
-background => 'red',
Default : snow
-colordatamouse => Array referenceSpecify an array reference wich contains 2 colors. The first color specifies the color of the line when mouse cursor passes over a entry in the legend. If the line has the same color, the second color will be used.
-colordatamouse => ['blue', 'green'],
Default : -colordatamouse => [ '#7F9010', '#CB89D3' ]
-morepixelselected => integerWhen the mouse cursor passes over an entry in the legend, the line width increase.
-morepixelselected => 5,
Default : 1
Set a title legend.
-title => 'My title',
Default : undef
-titlecolors => stringSet a color to legend text.
-titlecolors => 'red',
Default : black
-titlefont => stringSet the font to legend title text.
-titlefont => '{Arial} 8 {normal}',
Default : {Times} 8 {bold}
-legendcolor => colorColor of legend text.
-legendcolor => 'white',
Default : 'black'
-legendfont => stringSet the font to legend text.
-legendfont => '{Arial} 8 {normal}',
Default : {Times} 8 {normal}
-box => booleanSet a box around all legend.
-box => 1, # or 0
Default : 0
-legendmarkerheight => integerChange the heigth of marker for each legend entry.
-legendmarkerheight => 5,
Default : 10
-legendmarkerwidth => integerChange the width of marker for each legend entry.
-legendmarkerwidth => 5,
Default : 10
-heighttitle => integerChange the height title legend space.
-heighttitle => 75,
Default : 30
$chart->zoom(integer);
Zoom the graph. The x-axis and y-axis will be zoomed. If your graph has a 300*300 size, after a zoom(200), the graph will have a 600*600 size.
$chart->zoom(50); # size divide by 2 => 150*150 ... $chart->zoom(200); # size multiplie by 2 => 600*600 ... $chart->zoom(120); # 20% add in each axis => 360*360 ... $chart->zoom(100); # original resize 300*300.
Zoom the graph the x-axis.
# original canvas size 300*300 $chart->zoomx(50); # new size : 150*300 ... $chart->zoom(100); # new size : 300*300
Zoom the graph the y-axis.
# original canvas size 300*300 $chart->zoomy(50); # new size : 300*150 ... $chart->zoom(100); # new size : 300*300
