title: Equivalent of 'range' in boxplot for ggplot2
body: <p>I am trying to get the whiskers of a ggplot2's geom_boxplot to cover the outliers. The outliers would <i> de facto </i> not be displayed as dots as they are encompassed by the boxplot.</p>
  
  <p>If I was using the standard 'boxplot', I would be using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>boxplot(x, range=n)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where <i>n</i> would be a large number so that, instead of displaying the outliers, the boxplots's whiskers <i>extend</i> to cover the outliers.</p>
  
  <p>How can this be done with ggplot2?
  I've tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ggplot(myDF, aes(x=x, y=y)) +
  geom_boxplot(range = 5)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note: I do not want to <i>discard</i> the outliers using something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>geom_boxplot(outlier.shape = NA) 
  </code></pre>
