CALL: BOOK_HISTOGRAM


reference

  The histogram that is created is assigned to a global variable.
  The global variable should be seen as the histogram itself, e.g.
  one can add two histograms via a simple + operation.

  This parameter should have the format of a variable (e.g. A, REF,
  B_1) not of a number or a string. This parameter can either be a
  new, unused, variable or one that is already in use. In the latter
  case, the object related to the global variable will be deleted.

  This parameter is used in all subsequent histogram related
  CALL's but can also be used for arithmetic on histograms.

bins

  Number of bins in the histogram.

  [Default: 100]

range

  The range of the histogram can be set explicitly with the
  minimum and maximum arguments. If they are omitted, then
  autoscaling is implied.

  If the range is specified, but autoscaling is requested,
  then the specified range is ignored.

options

  A character string that can contain the following options:

  -------------------------------------------------------------
  Option       Meaning
  -------------------------------------------------------------
  AUTOSCALE    Requests automatic scaling, ignoring min and max
  INTEGER      Entries will be integers
  MANUAL       Manual scaling, minimum and maximum respected
  REAL         Entries will be reals or integers
