Box plot with custom quartiles being inconsistent with upperfence parameter

In the documentation: https://plotly.com/python/box-plots/#box-plot-with-precomputed-quartiles

There is a code sample with upperfence parameter set to [5,6,7] which doesn't really make sense because the q3 values are [7,8,9] and I think the upperfence of a box plot can't be lower than the q3 values. However, the provided example returns a boxplot with all upperfences set to 9, which is the maximum-minimum upperfence value possible for the provided boxplots. I think this behavior is not desirable because difficult to understand.

I think it would be better to raise an error. If you prefer not to raise an error, I guess a better option would be to set the upperfence to the minimum possible values in each boxplot.

Have a nice day.

Commencez par l’exemple de documentation lié, « Box plot with precomputed quartiles », et suivez la manière dont les valeurs q3 et upperfence sont traitées. Comparez la sortie documentée au comportement demandé, puis définissez et vérifiez un résultat cohérent pour les valeurs upperfence invalides ; l’exemple de documentation ne devrait plus prêter à confusion.
