I would like to use box-plots to display granular data in aggregate form. Once a boxplot is calculated and displayed, I would like to store off the 8 values available in the tool-tip, then use those to recreate the box-plot at a future date when the granular data is no longer available.
Question 1: can I access programatically the values calculated for tool-tips?
The 8 values in the tool-tip that are of interest are (taken from the Actipro doc on boxplots)
Format Parameter | Description |
---|---|
{0} | The minimum value. |
{1} | The lower whisker value. |
{2} | The lower quartile value (Q1). |
{3} | The median value (Q2). |
{4} | The upper quartile value (Q3). |
{5} | The upper whisker value. |
{6} | The maximum value. |
{7} | The mean value. |
Question 2: Can I then use these values to recreate the boxplot at a future time? It is much less overhead to store 8 doubles than the 1000 or so datapoints that create the boxplot.
