Hi Everyone,

I need some advice on the best way to create a certain plot:  I have a
series of time points.  For each one, I have a collection of values for
which I'd like to display the distribution with a histogram.  On the x-axis
would be the time points, while at each time point there is a vertical line
that is the baseline for a horizontally-oriented histogram.  This is similar
to a series of boxplots, but rather than using a boxplot to represent a
distribution of points, I am using a histogram.  There is no reason to
represent the "counts" for each histogram, as the histograms would all be
normalized, and I am only interested in their shape.

Ideally, this plot would be created on a single Axes object, as there should
be only a single x-axis.  This would involve drawing lots of rectangles on a
single plot.  However, one alternative is to create a separate Axes for each
histogram, and play with their relative sizes on the canvas to get the
proper spacing of the timepoints.  I have browsed the list of examples but
was not able to find something similar.

Any suggestions are welcome...

Thanks!
Uri
