Customizing Box Plot in varibility chart to Display Sigma-Based Intervals

Hello everyone,

I am currently working with JMP and using box plots to visualize my data. I noticed that it is possible to configure the display of outliers or quantiles, but I would like to know if it is possible to modify the box plot settings to show intervals based on standard deviations (sigma) around the mean, instead of the usual quartiles.

For example, I would like the box to represent mean ± 3 sigma, and the whiskers to represent ± 4 sigma or ± 6 sigma, in order to better visualize statistical dispersion using this approach.

Does anyone know if this can be done directly in JMP? If yes, could you please guide me on how to set this up or if there is a specific script or option available?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Distribution platform can create that. And if you wish to have custom distribution like that, you can use multiple Rect() to create one. There are some examples in community and also in scripts which are used in JMP Teaching Modules you can find from Sample Index.
