假设您使用boxplot函数绘制箱图,它会返回一个包含图表组件的字典.请注意,该框表示内部四分位数范围(25至75百分位数),而不是标准差.
>>> bp_dict = boxplot(data, vert=False) # draw horizontal boxplot
>>> bp_dict.keys()
>>> bp_dict.keys()
['medians', 'fliers', 'whiskers', 'boxes', 'caps']
它们包含形成每个绘图元素的Line2D对象.您可以使用Line2D.get_xydata方法获取中位数和框位置(在数据坐标中)以确定文本的位置.

# Making a 2-D array only works if all the columns are the
# same length. If they are not, then use a list instead.
# This is actually more efficient because boxplot converts
# a 2-D array into a list of vectors internally anyway.
