Adjacent boxplots

[royfrancis]

The “fill” argument for box mark stacks boxplots above each other. Is it possible to have them adjacent to each other so don’t overlap?

This is how it looks like now:

This is what I have in mind:

Here is some sample code:

filteredDiamonds = diamonds.filter(d => 
  (d.color === 'D' || d.color === 'E' || d.color === 'F') &&
  (d.clarity === 'I1' || d.clarity === 'IF' || d.clarity === 'SI1')
)

Plot.plot({
  title: "Boxplot",
  marks: [
    Plot.boxY(filteredDiamonds, {
      x: "cut",
      y: "depth",
      fill: "clarity",
      fx: "color",
    }),
    Plot.axisX({tickRotate: -45})
  ],
  grid: true,
  color: {
    legend: true
  }
})
