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

What inspired this wish list request? 

 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.

Workaround found : hard-coded idea to demonstrate single rectangle with a line (no whiskers but they could be added with Line())

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

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.

Why is this idea important? 

Better correlation with Design's simulations

Thank you for this suggestion @Harck. This is not currently available outside of scripting.

Thank you very much for your reply. With Jarmo's assistance, I was able to modify my scripts to create this representation. I hope this feature will be included in the next version of JMP.
