    Make a box plot from DataFrame columns.

    Make a box-and-whisker plot from DataFrame columns, optionally grouped
    by some other columns. A box plot is a method for graphically depicting
    groups of numerical data through their quartiles.
    The box extends from the Q1 to Q3 quartile values of the data,
    with a line at the median (Q2). The whiskers extend from the edges
    of box to show the range of the data. The position of the whiskers
    is set by default to `1.5 * IQR (IQR = Q3 - Q1)` from the edges of the box.
    Outlier points are those past the end of the whiskers.

    For further details see
    Wikipedia's entry for `boxplot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot>`_.

    Parameters
    ----------
    column : str or list of str, optional
        Column name or list of names, or vector.
        Can be any valid input to :meth:`pandas.DataFrame.groupby`.
    by : str or array-like, optional
        Column in the DataFrame to :meth:`pandas.DataFrame.groupby`.
        One box-plot will be done per value of columns in `by`.
    ax : object of class matplotlib.axes.Axes, optional
        The matplotlib axes to be used by boxplot.
    fontsize : float or str
        Tick label font size in points or as a string (e.g., `large`).
    rot : int or float, default 0
        The rotation angle of labels (in degrees)
        with respect to the screen coordinate system.
    grid : bool, default True
        Setting this to True will show the grid.
    figsize : A tuple (width, height) in inches
        The size of the figure to create in matplotlib.
    layout : tuple (rows, columns), optional
        For example, (3, 5) will display the subplots
        using 3 columns and 5 rows, starting from the top-left.
    return_type : {'axes', 'dict', 'both'} or None, default 'axes'
        The kind of object to return. The default is ``axes``.

        * 'axes' returns the matplotlib axes the boxplot is drawn on.
        * 'dict' returns a dictionary whose values are the matplotlib
          Lines of the boxplot.
        * 'both' returns a namedtuple with the axes and dict.
        * when grouping with ``by``, a Series mapping columns to
          ``return_type`` is returned.

          If ``return_type`` is `None`, a NumPy array
          of axes with the same shape as ``layout`` is returned.
    **kwds
        All other plotting keyword arguments to be passed to
        :func:`matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot`.

    Returns
    -------
    result
        See Notes.

    See Also
    --------
    Series.plot.hist: Make a histogram.
    matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot : Matplotlib equivalent plot.

    Notes
    -----
    The return type depends on the `return_type` parameter:

    * 'axes' : object of class matplotlib.axes.Axes
    * 'dict' : dict of matplotlib.lines.Line2D objects
    * 'both' : a namedtuple with structure (ax, lines)

    For data grouped with ``by``, return a Series of the above or a numpy
    array:

    * :class:`~pandas.Series`
    * :class:`~numpy.array` (for ``return_type = None``)

    Use ``return_type='dict'`` when you want to tweak the appearance
    of the lines after plotting. In this case a dict containing the Lines
    making up the boxes, caps, fliers, medians, and whiskers is returned.

    Examples
    --------

    Boxplots can be created for every column in the dataframe
    by ``df.boxplot()`` or indicating the columns to be used:

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> np.random.seed(1234)
        >>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10,4),
        ...                   columns=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3', 'Col4'])
        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3'])

    Boxplots of variables distributions grouped by the values of a third
    variable can be created using the option ``by``. For instance:

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 2),
        ...                   columns=['Col1', 'Col2'])
        >>> df['X'] = pd.Series(['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'A',
        ...                      'B', 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B'])
        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(by='X')

    A list of strings (i.e. ``['X', 'Y']``) can be passed to boxplot
    in order to group the data by combination of the variables in the x-axis:

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10,3),
        ...                   columns=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3'])
        >>> df['X'] = pd.Series(['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'A',
        ...                      'B', 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B'])
        >>> df['Y'] = pd.Series(['A', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'A',
        ...                      'B', 'A', 'B', 'A', 'B'])
        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by=['X', 'Y'])

    The layout of boxplot can be adjusted giving a tuple to ``layout``:

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by='X',
        ...                      layout=(2, 1))

    Additional formatting can be done to the boxplot, like suppressing the grid
    (``grid=False``), rotating the labels in the x-axis (i.e. ``rot=45``)
    or changing the fontsize (i.e. ``fontsize=15``):

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(grid=False, rot=45, fontsize=15)

    The parameter ``return_type`` can be used to select the type of element
    returned by `boxplot`.  When ``return_type='axes'`` is selected,
    the matplotlib axes on which the boxplot is drawn are returned:

        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1','Col2'], return_type='axes')
        >>> type(boxplot)
        <class 'matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot'>

    When grouping with ``by``, a Series mapping columns to ``return_type``
    is returned:

        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by='X',
        ...                      return_type='axes')
        >>> type(boxplot)
        <class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

    If ``return_type`` is `None`, a NumPy array of axes with the same shape
    as ``layout`` is returned:

        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by='X',
        ...                      return_type=None)
        >>> type(boxplot)
        <class 'numpy.ndarray'>

        A bar plot is a plot that presents categorical data with

        Make a box plot of the DataFrame columns.

        A box plot is a method for graphically depicting groups of numerical
        data through their quartiles.
        The box extends from the Q1 to Q3 quartile values of the data,
        with a line at the median (Q2). The whiskers extend from the edges
        of box to show the range of the data. The position of the whiskers
        is set by default to 1.5*IQR (IQR = Q3 - Q1) from the edges of the
        box. Outlier points are those past the end of the whiskers.

        For further details see Wikipedia's
        entry for `boxplot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot>`__.

        A consideration when using this chart is that the box and the whiskers
        can overlap, which is very common when plotting small sets of data.

        Generate Kernel Density Estimate plot using Gaussian kernels.

        In statistics, `kernel density estimation`_ (KDE) is a non-parametric
        way to estimate the probability density function (PDF) of a random
        variable. This function uses Gaussian kernels and includes automatic
        bandwidth determination.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_density_estimation

        Parameters
        ----------
        bw_method : str, scalar or callable, optional
            The method used to calculate the estimator bandwidth. This can be
            'scott', 'silverman', a scalar constant or a callable.
            If None (default), 'scott' is used.

        ind : NumPy array or int, optional
            Evaluation points for the estimated PDF. If None (default),
            1000 equally spaced points are used. If `ind` is a NumPy array, the
            KDE is evaluated at the points passed. If `ind` is an integer,
            `ind` number of equally spaced points are used.
        **kwargs : optional
            Additional keyword arguments are documented in
            :meth:`pandas.%(this-datatype)s.plot`.

        Given a Series of points randomly sampled from an unknown

        A scalar bandwidth can be specified. Using a small bandwidth value can
        lead to over-fitting, while using a large bandwidth value may result
        in under-fitting:

            :context: close-figs

            >>> ax = s.plot.kde(ind=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
