Add bins to histogram? #686

Closed thisisnickb closed 2 years ago

Not sure how easy this is to reprogram, but it would be very useful to be able to control the histogram output more finely, so that one could adjust the bin cutoffs, add additional bins, etc.

Hi Nick!

Our histogram function is pretty simple, but you can set the number of bins: https://github.com/ropensci/skimr/blob/97d0fa9f26c8e98912ba4079c44210f7bd88f382/R/stats.R#L84

To change how the histogram works, you'll want to create a custom skim function

# Use 8 bins
my_skim <- skim_with(numeric = sfl(hist = ~ inline_hist(., 8)))

There are more details on customization in this vignette: https://github.com/ropensci/skimr/blob/97d0fa9f26c8e98912ba4079c44210f7bd88f382/vignettes/Supporting_additional_objects.Rmd#L109

Best wishes, Michael
