It is possible to obtain the median of grouped data graphically using the ogive (both less than and more than cumulative).

When you have only one (either less than or more than cumulative) curve:

One obvious way is to locate on n/2 (n is the total number of observations) on the y axis. From this point draw a line parallel to x axis cutting the curve at a point.
From this point drop a line parallel to y axis onto the x axis. That gives the median (check the attachment)

Another way of obtaining the median:

When both the curves are given then drop a perpendicular onto the x axis from the point of intersection of both the curves. That point gives you the median.
