pp_histogramlines, locations, histogram_counts, x=x, y=y

Makes x and y coordinates to make a histogram plot that looks the usual way, with lines connecting the histogram counts to y=0 at each side of each bin.

Parameters

locations in required

The coordinate of the start of each bin (like what is returned by IDL's histogram(). See example below.

histogram_counts in required

The count for each bin. See example below.

Keywords

x out required

The x coordinate to use in the plot. See example below.

y out required

The y coordinate to use in the plot. See example below.

Examples

Create an array with 10000 Gaussian-distributed doubles and plot a histogram:

values=randomu(seed,10000,/normal,/double) hist=histogram(values,min=-3d0,max=3d0,binsize=0.1,locations=loc) pp_histogramlines,loc,hist,x=x,y=y iplot,x,y,color='red',name='Gaussian',insert_legend=[0.3,0.5],thick=2.
Now add a histogram for 10000 Gamma(1)-distributed doubles:
values=randomu(seed,10000,gamma=1d0,/double) hist=histogram(values,min=-3d0,max=3d0,binsize=0.1,locations=loc) pp_histogramlines,loc,hist,x=x,y=y iplot,x,y,color='blue',name='Gamma(1)',/insert_legend,/over,thick=2.
Which would result in
