n, bins, patches = plt.hist(...) gives you the bin-egdes 'bins' the corresponding frequency / number of values per bin 'n' and the mpl-objects of the shown bars # e.g. for top of the bar: n, bins, patches = plt.hist(x0, bins=10, histtype='bar') for index in xrange(len(bins)-1): plt.text(bins[index], n[index], " %i " % (n[index])) > *2) How to give input of 2 types of dataset in single hist() command , so > that i can compare 2 different dataset side by side on my output image.

I can't see any problems with placing dataset instead of x0 and x1 into this call. Please notice: in that case n is a tuple and each tuple-element corresponds to the number of values per bin of one dataset.
