-
astroML.plotting.hist(x, bins=10, range=None, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶ Deprecated since version 0.4: The hist function is deprecated and may be removed in a future version. Use astropy.visualization.hist instead.
Enhanced histogram
This is a histogram function that enables the use of more sophisticated algorithms for determining bins. Aside from the bins argument allowing a string specified how bins are computed, the parameters are the same as pylab.hist().
- Parameters
- xarray_like
array of data to be histogrammed
- binsint or list or str (optional)
If bins is a string, then it must be one of: ‘blocks’ : use bayesian blocks for dynamic bin widths ‘knuth’ : use Knuth’s rule to determine bins ‘scott’ : use Scott’s rule to determine bins ‘freedman’ : use the Freedman-diaconis rule to determine bins
- rangetuple or None (optional)
the minimum and maximum range for the histogram. If not specified, it will be (x.min(), x.max())
- axAxes instance (optional)
specify the Axes on which to draw the histogram. If not specified, then the current active axes will be used.
- **kwargs :
other keyword arguments are described in pylab.hist().
