Abstract
This disclosure describes, generally, methods and systems for plotting a graphically displayed box chart. The method includes receiving a data set including data points, where each of the plurality of data points consists of an ordered pair with a first axis and a second axis. The method further includes determining that the first axis and the second axis are discrete, and generating a table of graphically represented configurations of data points, where each configuration in the table includes a distinct number of data points within the configuration, and where the graphically represented configurations position the data points such that each of the data points is equally positioned within the graphically represented configuration. Further, the method includes, based on the graphically represented configurations of data points, plotting the data points and graphically displaying the plotted data points in a box chart format.
