Histograms

   

Summary: This example shows how to create a one-dimensional histogram of a data samples in F#.

let's first create some data for the purpose of creating example charts:

open Plotly.NET 

let rnd = System.Random()
let x = [for i=0 to 500 do yield rnd.NextDouble() ]

A histogram consisting of rectangles whose area is proportional to the frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval. The histogram chart represents the distribution of numerical data and can be created using the Chart.Histogram function:.

let histo1 =
    x
    |> Chart.Histogram
    |> Chart.withSize(500.,500.)
