Side-by-Side Box Plot Example: Grouped, Double & Parallel

This example places three box plots on the same axis so their medians, IQRs, whiskers, means, and possible outliers can be compared directly. Side-by-side, grouped, parallel, comparative, and double box plots describe closely related multi-group layouts.

How to structure the data

  • 01Use one numeric value column and one group column.
  • 02Repeat the group label for every observation that belongs to that distribution; Vizvero builds one box per unique label.
  • 03Keep measurement units consistent across groups so medians, boxes, and whiskers remain directly comparable.

What this example shows

Compare several distributions next to one another using the same numeric scale.

Grouped, side-by-side, parallel, and double box plots

These names all describe comparing multiple box plots on a shared scale. A double box plot is simply the two-group case; grouped, side-by-side, parallel, and comparative are broader descriptions.
