Changing the boxplot limits using Python, Pandas, and MatPlotLib
While I understand the basics of a boxplot and how to generate them in Python, I'd like to customize a boxplot so that instead of my box range representing the standard deviation and whiskers for my min/max values it represents the full min/max range.
I work in DNA analysis and am trying to generate a boxplot where a box represents the range of values for a basepair (e.g.: AA) BUT I want to overlay on that box 16 horizontal lines that are mean values for a string of 4 bases with AA in the middle (e.g. aAAa, cAAa). I've been able to do the overlay but the output is tough to read. I cannot find anything that will allow me to change my box limits.
Here's what I have now:
