Weirdness with boxplot

[Philipp K. J. <ja...@ie...>]

Consider the following data file:

# File1
1	1
2	1
2	1
3	1
3	2
4	2
4	2
5	2

Now the command:
	plot "d" u (1):1:(0.3):2 w boxplot
gives me two nice box plots, at levels "1"
and "2", side by side.

Now consider the following file:

# File2
1	10
2	1
2	1
3	1
3	2
4	2
4	2
5	2

The "level" of the FIRST record has been changed.
Now there are three levels, but I get the same 
plot as for File1, except that the name of the
first level is now 10.

Now consider this file:

# File3
1	1
2	10
2	1
3	1
3	2
4	2
4	2
5	2

Here, the level of some other (not the first)
record has been changed. Now I do get the plot
that I'd expect, showing three levels (one only
having a single point, of course).

Doing this, by the way, has no effeect:
	plot "d" u (1):1:(0.3):(stringcolumn(2)) w boxplot

Strange, isn't it?

Best,
