Hello, I am trying to make a histogram with matplotlib and I do not understand the example I found
http://n2.nabble.com/Python-MatPlotLib-histogram-example-td1922503.html I have a data file called "histo.dat" which looks like --------------------------------------------- # # Eccentricity on entrance to detector band (finer grain) # MODE: 0.00e+00 - 1.00e-04 (2226):********************************************************************************************** 1: 1.00e-04 - 2.00e-04 ( 482):********************* 2: 2.00e-04 - 3.00e-04 ( 273):************ 3: 3.00e-04 - 4.00e-04 ( 173):******** 4: 4.00e-04 - 5.00e-04 ( 125):****** 5: 5.00e-04 - 6.00e-04 ( 99):***** 6: 6.00e-04 - 7.00e-04 ( 68):*** . . . 932: 9.32e-02 - 9.33e-02 ( 0): 933: 9.33e-02 - 9.34e-02 ( 1):* --------------------------------------------- The * were meant to give an ascii impression of the histogram. As you can see, I have 933 bins First bin (MODE, since it's the most frequent one) ranges between 0.00e+00 - 1.00e-04 and has 2226 occurrences Second bin ranges between 1.00e-04 - 2.00e-04 and has 482 occurrences Third bin between 3.00e-04 - 4.00e-04 with 273 cases etc etc I am supposed to show this plot tomorrow and I cannot figure out how to plot this with matplotlib Any help in this desperate last minute panic would be enormously appreciated! thanks Pau ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
