Example

The example below demonstrates how to create a box and whisker chart and specify its options.

C#

// Create a box and whisker chart and specify its location.
Chart chart = worksheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.BoxAndWhisker, worksheet["B2:E17"]);
chart.TopLeftCell = worksheet.Cells["G2"];
chart.BottomRightCell = worksheet.Cells["N17"];

// Set the minimum and maximum values for the value axis.
Axis axis = chart.PrimaryAxes[1];
axis.Scaling.AutoMax = false;
axis.Scaling.Max = 70;
axis.Scaling.AutoMin = false;
axis.Scaling.Min = 40;

// Specify series options.
foreach (Series series in chart.Series)
{
    var options = series.LayoutOptions.BoxAndWhisker;
    options.ShowMeanLine = true;
    options.ShowMeanMarkers = true;
    options.ShowInnerPoints = false;
    options.ShowOutlierPoints = false;
    options.QuartileCalculationMethod = QuartileCalculationMethod.ExclusiveMedian;
}

// Add the chart title.
chart.Title.Visible = true;
chart.Title.SetValue("Academic Performance Distribution");

VB.NET

' Create a box and whisker chart and specify its location.
Dim chart As Chart = worksheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.BoxAndWhisker, worksheet("B2:E17"))
chart.TopLeftCell = worksheet.Cells("G2")
chart.BottomRightCell = worksheet.Cells("N17")

' Set the minimum and maximum values for the value axis.
Dim axis As Axis = chart.PrimaryAxes(1)
axis.Scaling.AutoMax = False
axis.Scaling.Max = 70
axis.Scaling.AutoMin = False
axis.Scaling.Min = 40

' Specify series options.
For Each series As Series In chart.Series
    Dim options As BoxAndWhiskerSeriesOptions = series.LayoutOptions.BoxAndWhisker
    options.ShowMeanLine = True
    options.ShowMeanMarkers = True
    options.ShowInnerPoints = False
    options.ShowOutlierPoints = False
    options.QuartileCalculationMethod = QuartileCalculationMethod.ExclusiveMedian
Next series

' Add the chart title.
chart.Title.Visible = True
chart.Title.SetValue("Academic Performance Distribution")
