Given quartiles, how do I draw a box-whisker using MATLAB, matplotlib, gnuplot, or some other package?

I'm given a number of data points like this:

2.50%   3.45
25.00%  4.19
50.00%  4.7
75.00%  5.42
97.50%  6.87

This defines a complete box-whisker element for a plot. I'm not sure how I can plot this. All the methods I've looked up so far (MATLAB, matplotlib, gnuplot) construct boxes from the original data. I don't have access to the original data, but I do have all the information I should need to draw the boxes.

What's the best way to draw the boxes/whiskers without the data?
