I assume you are referring to the kind of plot that is discussed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot. We currently have no higher-level API to support that. Of course, you could make your own function to do that using lower-level PLplot commands. If you donated such a function to PLplot with no external dependencies and with a corresponding example to show off that functionality, I believe there is a pretty good chance we would accept it (which means a fair amount of work on our part propagating the API and example to our different languages) since it appears from the above article to be a well-accepted plot style for quickly describing statistical distributions without the well-known drawbacks of histograms.
