Paul Hobson overhauled the :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot` method such
3838
that it is now completely customizable in terms of the styles and positions
3939
of the individual artists. Under the hood, :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot`
4040
relies on a new function (:func:`~matplotlib.cbook.boxplot_stats`), which
4141
accepts 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
45-
return the stats onto the figure.

Therefore, it is now possible for the user can use
48-
:func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot` in the same fashion or generate her own
49-
list of dictionaries of statistics and feed those directio to

:func:`~matplotlib.Axes.bxp`. Similarly, the output from

:func:`~matplotlib.cbook.boxplot_stats` can easily be modified by the user.

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

generate boxplots from data in one step. But now the user has the

flexibility to generate the statistics independently, or to modify the

output of :func:~matplotlib.cbook.boxplot_stats prior to plotting

with :func:~matplotlib.Axes.bxp.
