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.

Comece pelo exemplo de documentação vinculado, “Box plot with precomputed quartiles”, e acompanhe como os valores q3 e upperfence são tratados. Compare a saída documentada com o comportamento solicitado e, em seguida, defina e verifique um resultado consistente para valores upperfence inválidos; o exemplo de documentação não deve mais ser confuso.
