Abstract
This disclosure describes, generally, methods and systems for plotting a graphically displayed box chart. The method includes receiving a data set. The data set includes a first axis and a second axis and the data set consists of ordered pairs. The method further includes determining that the first axis is discrete and that the second axis is continuous and rounding values of the second axis' portion of the ordered pairs of the data set, based on a first level of granularity. The method includes based on the rounded values, creating data point groupings, and based on the data point groupings, determining a total number of data point locations for the first axis. The method further includes jittering values of the first axis' portion of the ordered pairs of the data set at each determined data point location, wherein the jittering alters the values based on a second level of granularity.
