Hi, Is boxplot supposed to be able to handle nan? I assumed it would, but got some unexpected results when trying so. In the example below i try to create boxplot for three lists a,b,c holding samples from normal distribution. Both a and b hold nan, c not. As you can see in the attached screenshot only the boxplot for c looks ok.
In [145]: matplotlib.__version__ Out[145]: '1.1.0' In [146]: np.__version__ Out[146]: '1.6.1' In [147]: a = [np.random.randn() if i % 5 == 0 else np.NaN for i in range(1000)] In [148]: b = [np.random.randn() if i < 500 else np.NaN for i in range(1000)] In [149]: c = np.random.randn(1000) In [150]: d = boxplot([a, b, c]) In [151]: d['medians'][0].get_data() Out[151]: (array([ 0.85, 1.15]), array([ nan, nan])) In [152]: d['medians'][1].get_data() Out[152]: (array([ 1.85, 2.15]), array([ nan, nan])) In [153]: d['medians'][2].get_data() Out[153]: (array([ 2.85, 3.15]), array([ 0.01285423, 0.01285423])) Wouter
