No - not the 'widths' kwarg. I want something that *looks* like the boxplot, but for which I will have control of setting the ranges delimited by the box and delimited by the whiskers (in the vertical dimension, not the horizontal dimension). I resorted to hacking something from the existing code (see attached diff). This simply allows you to over-ride the computation of box_y, med_y and the wisk_lo and wisk_hi, which are otherwise derived from the data. In other words, it allows you to ignore the data :-)
