1st Dimension of a Boxplot

Hi,

It is unclear to me what the 1st dimension of a boxplot represents.  The documentation simply states "This is the inner dimension, which defines a box."  What does this mean?  I assume it has to do with level of aggregation but what is actually going on under the hood.  For example, say my data is at the city level but I chose state as the 1st dimension?  What is then being shown on the chart?  The percentiles of aggregated data?

The first dimension in a box plot defines the box.

Once you have a measure you will see how your first dimension values are distributed in that box.

If you have a second dimension, this will then show one box per second dimension value.
