It'd be cool if we could do something like bins = [(0.0,0.05,0.1),(0.05,0.1,0.15)...] Where I have specified the left edge, center and right edge of each bin. Yeah, that'd be pretty slick. S On Sat Oct 20 16:21:41 2012, Steven Boada wrote: > Let's say I generate a bunch of random numbers from

[Matplotlib-users] Histogram with overlapping bins

2012-10-20 Thread Steven Boada
Let's say I generate a bunch of random numbers from 0-1. Then, I'd like to make a histogram of it. But here's the clincher. I'd like my bins to overlap a bit. For example, if the first bin is from 0 - 0.1, centered on 0.05, I'd like the next (second) bin to be centered on 0.1 and range from 0.0
