Creating a boxplot and histogram view in a single chart

BrianB — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 17:52:59 GMT

I am trying to re-create a chart as shown below where a box plot is shown for a discrete lot level on the x-axis and a vertical histogram of the entire data set is on the right hand side of the chart.

Is there a way to do this in Graph Builder or is this only achievable with jsl?

Hey @BrianB

I just made a dummy column of all 1's (Column 6) and added that as an additional panel on the X axis

Fantastic thank you.

2 questions to get the same view

1. How do you scale the portion of the x-axis for the boxplot vs the histogram?

2. is it only possible to have a single y-axis interval setting or can the box plot and histogram have different intervals (whilst retaining the same overall scale)

For the X axis, hold down alt and resize the x axis panel

For having the two panels respect difference Y axis scales, add in another of the same Y axis (here I used weight from the Big Class sample data set) and then move one of them to the right (right click on the Y axis when it says Weight & Weight and select move right and choose one to move)
