Create and Configure a Box Plot

public static void CreateBoxPlot(AnalysisApplication application)
{
    // Add a box plot to the page
    BoxPlot boxPlot = application.Document.ActivePageReference.Visuals.AddNew<BoxPlot>();
    boxPlot.Title = "Basic Box Plot";

    // Connect the box plot to data
    DataManager dataManager = application.Document.Data;
    boxPlot.Data.DataTableReference = dataManager.Tables.DefaultTableReference;

    // Set filtering for the visualization
    boxPlot.Data.UseActiveFiltering = true;

    // Set marking for the visualization
    boxPlot.Data.MarkingReference = dataManager.Markings.DefaultMarkingReference;

    // Set up the x-axis
    boxPlot.XAxis.Expression = "<Type>";
    boxPlot.YAxis.Expression = "Sales";

    // Set up the statistics table
    boxPlot.Table.Measures.AddRange(new string[] 
    {
        "Count",
        "Median",
        "Outliers",
        "Q1",
        "Q3"
    });

    // Turn on Tukey-Kramer comparison circles
    boxPlot.ComparisonCircles.AlphaLevel = 0.1;
    boxPlot.ComparisonCircles.Visible = true;
