Components
Use these checkboxes to choose how many 'boxes' you will show and then format the columns for your box plot.
For each row you want to use in the box plot, select a Data Column from your datasheet to set up the boxes for comparison. Clicking the left side of the color box gives you a set selection of colors, or you can use the eye dropper color tool to select a color from your screen. Once you click the eye dropper, the next click with your cursor will grab that color and use it for the color selection in the program.
