Yes indeed you are correct. I am actually thinking of my MBA students who are not conformable with scripting,  so this is a GUI feature request. 

Also, this feature exists with box plots, but it has not been implemented for scatter plots.

Hmmm... I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Don't we have this

stringify(d, strsplit("No Yes"))
boxplot x d --factorized --output=display
