I have to say I ran into this before too, when trying to plot a histogram. I think it would be nice to extend it to not simply ignore the x values that would make this work:
load'stats/base' load'plot' data =: ? 1000 $ 0 bins =: (%~>:@i.) 10 'bar' plot bins ([;histogram) data Aside of the fact that it would be more consistent with other plotting commands (the principle of least surprise). xlabel is useful too, but only when using qualitative labels for each bar. Just my 2 cents :).
