BoxPlot

Tukey’s Box-and-Whisker design is often the best way to approach a large dataset when it is not clear what the significant relationships are. The ‘box’ shows the span of the data between the lower and upper quartiles, with a bar drawn at the median value. The ‘Whiskers’ show the total span of the data – you can use the ‘Deciles’ style to have a dotted line drawn from the 10% and 90% points out to the extremes to reduce the visual impact of outliers.

Boxplots may be drawn vertically (the default) or horizontally (useful when the labels are quite long).
