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.

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 calls to e.g. FILL_HISTOGRAM, and can also be used to perform arithmetic, e.g. one can add two histograms via a simple + operation between the references of the two 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 the range arguments are omitted, then the AUTOSCALE option 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
