Unfortunately, Analytica does not (yet) provide a Tukey-style Box-whisker plot. A classical box-whisker plot is one that looks like this:

The wisker-ends usually represent either the min and max range of data, or the 10% and 90% fractiles. The top and bottom of the box denotes the 25% and 75% quartiles, with the middle line being the median.

Analytica's probability bands graph is used to depict the same type information, but in a different format:

As a substitute for a box-whisker plot, you can consider what I'll call a box-box-box plot:

Or, in the other direction, a whisker-whisker-whisker plot:

While the topmost box-whisker plot is not currently available in Analytica 4.4, all three of the other variations are possible using Analytica's graphing engine. All three plots depict the same information.
