Histogram Plot

The Histogram plot divides the data range of a scalar variable into a number of bins and groups the variable's values, weighted by cell area or revolved volume, into different bins. The values in each bin are then used to create a bar graph or curve that represents the distribution of values throughout the variable's data range. The Histogram plot can be used to determine where data values cluster in the range of a scalar variable. The Histogram plot is shown in figure.
