37+ Paul Hobson overhauled the :func: `~matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot ` method such
3838that it is now completely customizable in terms of the styles and positions
3939of the individual artists. Under the hood, :func: `~matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot `
4040relies on a new function (:func: `~matplotlib.cbook.boxplot_stats `), which
4141accepts any data structure currently compatible with
42- :func: `~matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot `, amd returns a list of dictaries
43- containing the positions of each of artists for the boxplots. Then
44- a second method, :func: `~matplotlib.Axes.bxp ` is called to actually

47- Therefore, it is now possible for the user can use

47+ The :func: ~matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot function can be used as before to
