Why can't I make a boxplot with data overlay?

Here we go... So, I have the following boxplot, the values on the X-axis are spaced by 1, which is fine and I understand why, but I need to find a way to do the same boxplot, but with each box at its own value and scale even if there is box overlaps. Is there a way to do this?

How about using a boxchart ?

The following is an example:

% Sample data
x = [ones(100,1); 2*ones(100,1); 4*ones(100,1)];
y = rand(300,1)+x;

% Draw box plot for each x-value position
figure
boxchart(x,y)

I tryed it a few days ago but the plot goes blank...

@Brenno Selli-san,

Seems strange. If possible, could you upload your data?

[Brenno Selli]

Of course I can Mr Akira, I will attach the data for a test simulation... "pfs" are the 36 values ​​placed on the x-axis and "MEDIA_A_HB" are the values ​​associated with the y-axis when I plot.

The first column of pfs is associated with the first column of MEDIA_A_HB and so on..

Here it is

OK.

To create the expected boxchart, you have to use boxchart function with "boxchart(xgroupdata, ydata)" style.

Please use the following as a reference:

% Load data
s = load('mr_akira_files.mat');
pfs = s.pfs;
MEDIA_A_HB = s.MEDIA_A_HB;

% Create "xgroupdata"
pfs2 = repelem(pfs', 10, 1);

% Cleare boxchart (box width is adjusted)
figure
boxchart(pfs2, MEDIA_A_HB(:),...
  "BoxWidth", 0.1)

Wow... Okay, now it appears to be working really well. I expected results exactly as plotted.

Thank you very much Mr Akira, I'll plot for more data and if this becomes an article, you will certainly be in the thanks section. Thank you so much.
