Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the sample salary data with my own department figures?
Yes. Click "Open in editor" and edit the data table directly in your browser — rename departments, add new ones like Sales or Finance, and paste in your own salary numbers. The box plot redraws instantly, and you can recolor it before exporting as PNG, SVG, or PDF. No signup is required.
Why use a box plot instead of a bar chart for salaries by department?
A bar chart only shows one number per department (usually the average), which hides how widely pay varies. A box plot shows the full distribution — median, the middle 50% range, and any unusually high or low salaries — so you can compare both typical pay and spread across departments at a glance.
