Drawing a Julia histogram using Gadfly


In this example, we produce a histogram using Gadfly.

How to do it...

We can use this small script:

using Gadfly
srand(111)
plot(x=randn(77), Geom.histogram(bincount=10))

That produces this plot:

How it works...

We are using another part of Gadfly. In this case, we are selecting one of the geometric shapes of the histogram. Gadfly has quite a variety of shapes to choose from.

We tell Gadfly to break up the data into 10 bins for the histogram. For the example, we are generating 113 data points.
