no, like, who came up with the IDEA of b&w?

Looks something like this:

50%
___________
|-------[_____|_____]----------|

0% 25% 75% 100%

You size each portion accordingly.
Trying to remember how...

i wanna know who first created b&w . . . who came up with the idea of doing that

If you ask me, it's kind of a dumb idea in the first place....

Spear in 1952...


Tukey made it big in '77

EDIT: Teh difference is that Spear's actaully extended for the entire range of the data....Tukey's is more of a demonstration of the median of the data
