Need help with generating a box and whisker plot

I have 5 strings of data for 100 models, where each string represents the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and the 95th percentiles. I am interested in creating a box and whisker plot for all these strings. I am new to the world of matlab. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Unfortunately, the builtin boxplot function only does the whole thing from the raw data; it doesn't have the feature to build a boxplot from the statistics only. Oleg some years ago showed how to mung on a boxplot with made up data to produce one that has the desired statistics artifically introduced for the plot; it is doable but not as trivial as one would like. As he says, one would encapsulate the necessary commands in a function for use in practice. <Answer_40303>
