Want Histogram Function #4

Open szaydel opened 6 years ago

szaydel commented 6 years ago

One thing I have noticed with GNUPlot is that there's not really a straight-forward way to create a nice looking histogram, which in reality is a 1D plot, though you might argue that it still requires two axes. It would be nice, I think to see convenience plots, or something of the sort that lets you quickly create a nice looking and preferably correctly presented histogram without much fuss. One thing I find that most successful libraries offer quick/dirty methods which make adoption for new comers easier, where with just one line they can get a good looking plot, and they also make it easy to create a plot with most values being set to reasonable defaults. In other words you can quickly iterate and experiment.

A histogram is I think an example of a type of a plot which ideally one should be able to create with a single line of code; ideally. :)

@szaydel Thanks a lot.
It's very important to have this feature, will definitely add this.
