[Gnuplot-info] gnuplot histograms

[kmsmith137 <kms...@gm...>]

Hi,

How can I make a histogram in gnuplot?
In more detail, I have an ascii file with one "sample" per line:
  <sample_1>
  <sample_2>
      ....
and I would like to visualize the distribution of samples by binning them
and plotting rectangles, where the x-range of each rectangle shows the range
of each bin, and the height of each rectangle shows the number of samples in
the bin.

I could write a standalone program which preprocesses my sample file, and
outputs the bin ranges and counts, but surely there is some way to do the
binning internally to gnuplot?

Thanks!
