Plot outliers in box & whisker graph

[hugovoerman]

Question:

Did anyone added plotting the outliers to the Box & Whisker plot based on the demo Box & whisker plugin + legend-as-tooltip plugin?

I would like to have the outliers shown as demoed on Wikipedia Box plot figure 3

You are amazing! Thank you for this guidance. I will take it from here for my application.

added outlier rendering to the demo in f2804d0. they're drawn on canvas, so you cannot interact with them without implementing a quadtree or some other spatial index, as is done in the bubble demo [1].

if you want them to be interactive, you could alternatively implement this rendering in the DOM (by adding elements to the u.over container), and get mouse events/interaction without a spatial index but at the cost of possibly hundreds or thousands of DOM nodes re-created on every zoom/re-render.

Perhaps you can give me a pointer in how to add the outliers to the tooltip. Much appreciated!
