Projectile Sampling Distributions: Reduce horizontal range of histogram #304

Closed matthew-blackman closed 2 months ago

matthew-blackman commented 2 months ago

In discussing https://github.com/phetsims/projectile-data-lab/issues/299, it was requested that the histogram be updated to allow the data to appear larger. @catherinecarter @samreid and I experimented with several options and believe that the best one is to restrict the horizontal range of the histogram to be from 20-80 rather than from 0-100. This will enable the data to appear almost twice as large, while still accommodating for the full range of sampling data that students can collect.

Note: This is not possible in PDL because the histograms in that sim are constrained by the need to be consistent across all four screens.

Awesome! The one thing (so far) that stuck out to me was the y-axis zoom on the histogram. Since we don't have the other screens, we don't need the y-axis to zoom all the way to 500, and I found myself wanting a step between 200 and 500.

With this being the only screen, can we change the zoom levels to be a max on the y-axis in increments of 25 and range from 25 to 225 or 250?

Please close after verifying.

Things seem to behave as expected.
