Description

Current behavior:

There is no option to pass the min, max and outliers data points

Excepted behavior:

There should be options to pass the min, max and outliers data points in the Box plot configuration.

like this:
const data={[ { q1: [percentile_25], q3: [percentile_75], median: [percentile_50], mean: [mean], lowerfence: [lowerFence], upperfence: [upperFence], min: [min], max: [max], outliers:[p1,p2,p3...], type: 'box', boxpoints: 'all' }, ]}

Research direction

Start by locating the box plot configuration and the existing handling for q1, q3, median, mean, lowerfence, and upperfence. Check how boxpoints are represented, then add support for manually supplied min, max, and outliers values and verify that the configuration accepts the example shape.
