Description
I'm using the Box Plot demo you've provided to display some summary statistics for some data. There's a case where there may only be a single entry to display in the graph, but the result doesn't display the box correctly nor does the x-axis even get displayed. Example: https://jsbin.com/qesexajura/edit?js,output
Adjusting scales.x.distr from 2 to 1 correctly displays the box and x-axis, though with a bunch of padding to the right which unnecessarily fills the graph.
Hovering over the graph displays the highlight/legend plugin values for the single entry though. Is there some other adjustments needed here to account for single-element datasets with the box plot plugin?

Research direction
Start with the Box Plot demo and reproduce the single-entry case from the linked JSBin. Compare the behavior with scales.x.distr set to 2 and 1, including the missing x-axis, box rendering, and excess right padding. Done means a single-element dataset displays its box and x-axis without unnecessary padding while preserving the hover highlight and legend values.
