[Matplotlib-users] Histogram with single series - colour coding different ranges?

[Victor H. <vic...@ya...>]

heya,

Is there an easy way to colour-code a Matplotlib histogram with a single set
of data?

So for example, you'd have a bell-shaped histogram, and the middle 50% might
be green, the regions 20% to the left and right of that might be yellow, and
the 5% either side beyond that could be red.

I couldn't seem to find anything in the Matplotlib options for this - any
suggestions?

Cheers,
Victor
