I want the box plot to show its maximum and minimum instead of IQR correspond to the box' edges in the graph.
So in the reference, it said

"By default, the whiskers correspond to the box' edges +/- 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR = Q3-Q1), see "boxpoints" for other options."

But "boxpoints" did not talk about whiskers

boxpoints (enumerated: "all" | "outliers" | "suspectedoutliers" | False )
default: "outliers"
If "outliers", only the sample points lying outside the whiskers are shown If "suspectedoutliers", the outlier points are shown and points either less than 4"Q1-3"Q3 or greater than 4"Q3-3"Q1 are highlighted (see outliercolor) If "all", all sample points are shown If "False", only the box(es) are shown with no sample points

Going to close this here as any changes to trace options would need to be handled in the Plotly.js project (https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js). Feel free to open an issue there if you're still interested.

Document extension of whiskers when no sample points are plotted

The docstring already mentions that the points parameter can be used to control the whisker length, but it does not document how which lead to plotly#522

Docstring touchups (#1866)
2b42d85 
* Reduce line width to prevent wrapping in Jupyter Notebook help dialog

* Correct trendline docstring

* Unify language in "one of" docstrings

* Mention "suspectedoutliers" as a legal argument to the points parameter

This already shows up in the error message when passing "points" an illegal argument

* Document extension of whiskers when no sample points are plotted

The docstring already mentions that the points parameter can be used to control the whisker length, but it does not document how which lead to #522

* Document box and whisker ranges

* Mention whisker extension at one more place

* Add newline in boxplot description
