hist 

hist(values; bins = 15, normalization = :none)

Plot a histogram of values . bins can be an Int to create that number of equal-width bins over the range of values . Alternatively, it can be a sorted iterable of bin edges. The histogram can be normalized by setting normalization . Possible values are:

  • :pdf : Normalize by sum of weights and bin sizes. Resulting histogram has norm 1 and represents a PDF.

  • :density : Normalize by bin sizes only. Resulting histogram represents count density of input and does not have norm 1. Will not modify the histogram if it already represents a density ( h.isdensity == 1 ).

  • :probability : Normalize by sum of weights only. Resulting histogram represents the fraction of probability mass for each bin and does not have norm 1.

  • :none : Do not normalize.

The following attributes can move the histogram around, which comes in handy when placing multiple histograms into one plot:

  • offset = 0.0: adds an offset to every value

  • fillto = 0.0: defines where the bar starts

  • scale_to = nothing: allows to scale all values to a certain height

  • flip = false: flips all values

Color can either be:

  • a vector of bins colors

  • a single color

  • :values , to color the bars with the values from the histogram

Attributes

Available attributes and their defaults for MakieCore.Combined{Makie.hist, T} where T are: 

  bar_labels             "nothing"
  bins                   15
  color                  RGBA{Float32}(0.0f0,0.0f0,0.0f0,0.6f0)
  cycle                  [:color => :patchcolor]
  fillto                 MakieCore.Automatic()
  flip_labels_at         Inf
  label_color            :black
  label_font             "Dejavu Sans"
  label_formatter        Makie.bar_label_formatter
  label_offset           5
  label_size             20
  normalization          :none
  offset                 0.0
  over_background_color  MakieCore.Automatic()
  over_bar_color         MakieCore.Automatic()
  scale_to               "nothing"

Examples 

using GLMakie

data = randn(1000)

f = Figure()
hist(f[1, 1], data, bins = 10)
hist(f[1, 2], data, bins = 20, color = :red, strokewidth = 1, strokecolor = :black)
hist(f[2, 1], data, bins = [-5, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 5], color = :gray)
hist(f[2, 2], data, normalization = :pdf)
f

Histogram with labels

You can use all the same arguments as barplot : 

using CairoMakie

data = randn(1000)

hist(data, normalization = :pdf, bar_labels = :values,
     label_formatter=x-> round(x, digits=2), label_size = 15,
     strokewidth = 0.5, strokecolor = (:black, 0.5), color = :values)

Moving histograms

With scale_to , and offset , one can put multiple histograms into the same plot. Note, that offset automatically sets fillto, to move the whole barplot. Also, one can use a negative scale_to amount to flip the histogram. 

using CairoMakie

fig = Figure()
ax = Axis(fig[1, 1])
for i in 1:5
     hist!(ax, randn(1000), scale_to=-0.6, offset=i, direction=:x)
end
fig
