Description
In a boxplot, the user can have a lot of data. It is hard to visualize anything if all the data is shown. Instead, we can show several boxes when the plot renders, but the user needs to see the rest of the data (box by box, not all in one view). A horizontal scroll bar is ideal, because using the mouse to move the view will unintentionally change the vertical axis view and the purpose would be to visualize how the boxes differ in height and position on vertical axis.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the boxplot rendering and interaction entry points in plotly.js, then inspect how horizontal and vertical navigation are handled. Done means users can scroll through boxes horizontally while preserving the vertical-axis view.
