I am trying to get deep into hvplot to see if I can find a good alternative to plotly, but I am baffled by the documentation.

I am trying to plot boxplots with jittered points, and a basic tutorial can be found here.

The part of the example I am trying to customize is this:

import hvplot.pandas
from bokeh.sampledata.sprint import sprint as df
boxplot = df.hvplot.box(y='Time', by='Medal', height=400, width=400, legend=False)
boxplot

However, I want to style my plot, for example by removing the borders of each box, changing opacity, box width, and so on.

I tried to search that in the hvplot page, but the documentation seem to be limited to some basic examples and not much more.

On stackoverflow I managed to find some pointers to how to style plots but I tried and failed to find out how to do the above mentioned things.

Is there a more detailed documentation somewhere or do I just need to get deeper into holoviews?

Update:

I found in the customization guide of HvPlot that one can call hvplot.help('box'). That contains all the possibile options. The fact that box_color doesn't work still eludes me (box_fill_color works) but at least that's a more detailed explanation of how it works. Leaving it here just in case someone else needs it.
