Jitter boxplot - How to show boxplot with the raw continuous data

[imcbczm]

Hi,

Does anybody have an idea or SAS program to show boxplot with the raw continuous data points (the points must be distinguishable from each other) on the same graph? A lot scientific publication have this type of figure.

I heard you can add "jitter" to the raw data and overlay with boxplot. Anybody can provide an elegant way (a SAS macro?) to implement it?

thanks for helping.

ZM
