BUGFIX:  This change fixes #2475, where contour labels added manually
produce ugly spikes in the contours.  The problem was that screen
coordinates were being passed as data coordinates when the contour was
split to add room for the label.

BUG : fix errors when using fliers

doplot for horizontal boxes (internal bxp helper function) assumes that
it will be passed an even number of positional arguments which it swaps
pair-wise.  The code to draw the fliers also passes in a format string
which breaks the assumption.

 - re-worked how `bxp` deals with the `sym` input
 - minor pep8
BUG : handle colors passed in via sym in bxp

If the user passes is the string 'ro' assume they want filled circles.
This is also the old behavior.
