Plot values of a boxplot next to it?

Hi,

i'm currently working with the matlab function boxplot and need a representation of the corresponding values next to the boxplots (see figure) for better clarity. Is there any possibility to implement this with boxplot? In my use case the number of boxplots changes depending on the user input, so a static positioning of the numbers is not possible.

Thanks in advance!

x1 = rand(5,1);
x2 = rand(10,1);
x3 = rand(15,1);
x = [x1; x2; x3];

g1 = repmat({'First'},5,1);
g2 = repmat({'Second'},10,1);
g3 = repmat({'Third'},15,1);
g = [g1; g2; g3];
boxplot(x,g)

qx1 = quantile(x1, [.25 .5 .75]);
qx2 = quantile(x2, [.25 .5 .75]);
qx3 = quantile(x3, [.25 .5 .75]);


hold on
text(1+.25+zeros(1,3), qx1, string(qx1), 'HorizontalAlignment', 'left');
text(2+.25+zeros(1,3), qx2, string(qx2), 'HorizontalAlignment', 'left');
text(3+.25+zeros(1,3), qx3, string(qx3), 'HorizontalAlignment', 'left');
