Call: PLOT_HISTOGRAM


histogram

The Histogram is referenced via a global variable that has usually been returned by a call to BOOK_HISTOGRAM or to GET_HISTOGRAM.

[This argument is mandatory. No default is supplied.]


x_label

The String that should appear along the horizontal axis.

The label is shown using the text representation LABELS.

[By default, this will be `Coordinate`]


title

This should be a String that contains the title that you want to appear at the top of the plot.

The title is shown using the text representation TITLE.

If omitted or if specified as `*`, the name of the global variable associated with the histogram will be used as title. If the histogram is the result of an operation, the string `Title` will be used.


options

A string which can contain the following options:

Option Effect Notes
FRAME Plots the histogram with a frame Default
NOFRAME Reuses the existing frame Not default

[Default: True.]


representations

The histogram is drawn using the FUNCTION-1 representation, as illustrated in the example.

To superimpose several histograms, one therefore has to change this representation between calls to PLOT_HISTOGRAM.


Go to the top level, to Call, to PLOT_HISTOGRAM, to the topic index or to the table of contents.
