This PR addresses the user request to modify the whisker portion of
ggbetweenstats()and clarify what the whiskers represent. Previously, users had no documented way to customize whisker behavior, and it was unclear that whiskers show 1.5 × IQR by default.Key Changes
Enhanced Documentation: Updated
boxplot.argsparameter documentation to clearly explain that whiskers extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR) by default, following the Tukey method. Added explicit guidance on using thecoefparameter for customization.Comprehensive FAQ Entry: Added FAQ #30 "How to modify the whiskers in box plots from ggbetweenstats?" with multiple examples covering different whisker scenarios including data range only (
coef = 0) and custom multipliers.Technical Approach
The functionality was already available through the existing
exec(geom_boxplot, !!!boxplot.args, outlier.shape = NA)implementation, which passes allboxplot.argstoggplot2::geom_boxplot(). Sincegeom_boxplot()accepts acoefparameter to control whisker length, users can now access this through documented usage ofboxplot.args = list(coef = value).This solution maintains full backward compatibility while making previously hidden functionality discoverable and usable.
Fixes #912.
