Boxenplot fliersize ?

Hi, is it possible to change fliersize in boxenplot, as in boxplot?

@EitanHemed pls go ahead, I haven’t managed to find time to work on this unfortunately.

Right, those are both workarounds for users who can only interact with the matplotlib figure object that seaborn creates. Inside the function, you can pass the dictionary of flier_kws to the scatter call that draws the outliers.

Actually looking at the code a little bit, the situation with kws is messier than I thought, because kws is passed to both plot (to draw the medians) and scatter to draw the outliers, with no ability to tweak the appearance of the boxes externally.

So ideally, there would be three new parameters:

• box_kws
• line_kws
• flier_kws

And they would each be dispatched to the right place.

Two other pieces of guidance for how to make this change:

• You should add the plotting parameters that are currently passed to each function (like the flier shape) to the kws dictionary using .setdefault so that users can override the defaults if desired.
• You don’t want to mutate the user’s dictionary when you do that, so you need to copy the kwargs dicts first.
