Here is the way to maximize the Data-Ink Ratio in the box plot.

• Avoid heavy grids.
• Replace enclosing box with an x/y grid.
• Prune graphics by: replacing bars with single lines, erasing non-data ink; eliminating lines from axes; starting x/y axes at the data values.
• Avoid over busy grids, excess ticks, redundant representation of simple data, boxes, shadows, pointers, legends.
