I just found this rare boxplot in the attachment. The help says
that for each boxplot both whiskers should be of size 1.5 times
the interquartile range, but I can see clearly that some of the

bug?
The doc is not entirely accurate: the "whiskers" are supposed tp
extend to a _maximum_ of 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR),
but never beyond the range of the actual data. So the upper and
lower whiskers may be of different lengths.
That said, it would seem that, if the upper whiskers are correct
in Ignacios's plot then some of the lower whiskers are too long.
I'll look into it.
