What kind of boxplot bokeh.charts.Boxplot use (how to interpret the whisker) ?

Hi,

the Bokeh BoxPlot chart implements the whisker with

  • the lowest datum still within 1.5 IQR of the lower quartile, and the highest datum still within 1.5IQR of the upper quartile (often called the Tukey boxplot)

You can check the related code here: https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/blob/3f8adbe51323075b0582af5d3d34fb3af1250558/bokeh/charts/glyphs.py#L817-L839

Thanks

Fabio
