    hist(Double[], Double, Double, Int32, Hist)

    plhist: Plot a histogram from unbinned data

    Declaration
    public void hist(Double[] data, Double datmin, Double datmax, Int32 nbin, Hist opt)
    Parameters
    Type Name Description
    Double[] data

    A vector containing the values of the n data points.

    Double datmin

    Left-hand edge of lowest-valued bin.

    Double datmax

    Right-hand edge of highest-valued bin.

    Int32 nbin

    Number of (equal-sized) bins into which to divide the interval xmin to xmax.

    Hist opt

    Is a combination of several flags: opt=PL_HIST_DEFAULT: The axes are automatically rescaled to fit the histogram data, the outer bins are expanded to fill up the entire x-axis, data outside the given extremes are assigned to the outer bins and bins of zero height are simply drawn. opt=PL_HIST_NOSCALING|...: The existing axes are not rescaled to fit the histogram data, without this flag, plenv is called to set the world coordinates. opt=PL_HIST_IGNORE_OUTLIERS|...: Data outside the given extremes are not taken into account. This option should probably be combined with opt=PL_HIST_NOEXPAND|..., so as to properly present the data. opt=PL_HIST_NOEXPAND|...: The outer bins are drawn with equal size as the ones inside. opt=PL_HIST_NOEMPTY|...: Bins with zero height are not drawn (there is a gap for such bins).

    Remarks

    Plots a histogram from n data points stored in the data vector. This routine bins the data into nbin bins equally spaced between datmin and datmax, and calls plbin to draw the resulting histogram. Parameter opt allows, among other things, the histogram either to be plotted in an existing window or causes plhist to call plenv with suitable limits before plotting the histogram.
