This plots one-variable data as a histogram. The x axis is divided into
equal widths called buckets or bars. The height of each bar (its
y
value) indicates how many data points fall within the bar’s range.
¦
When defining the plot, you
can specify the
Hist. Bucket
Width
(default is 1) to set
the width of each bar.
¦ A data point at the edge of
a bar is counted in the bar
to the right.

ZoomData
