A histogram chart is only available for probabilistic data, and displays one or more simulation outputs in the form of a histogram.

From the results window (Recommended)

• If you select a non-time dependent output, a quick view is created which, by default, is a histogram for non-time dependent, probabilistic outputs. Or,
• Right-click the output or outputs that you wish to plot and select Histogram from the popup-menu

From the charts window

• Click the button, or
• Right-click the charts window and select Create | Histogram from the popup-menu

Some properties can be changed directly by using the controls below the chart. For a histogram there are controls for:

• Legend - Toggle legend on/off
• Time-point - Select time point for the histogram. Only applicable for time dependent outputs.

To change other properties either right-click the chart in the charts window and select Edit, or double-click the chart, or click the button in the title bar.

The chart editor has two tabs:

This screen let you edit properties such as name and axes, that are common to most charts. Please see editing chart properties for more information.

• Timepoint – For time dependent outputs, specify the time point you wish to plot.
  
• Number of bins – Enter the number of bins for the histogram. This number applies to all outputs. You can use the drop-down list to the right to use an algorithm that calculates the optimal number of bins from the selected data.
• Bin estination routine - Select a method for selecting the number of bins in a histogram.
  • Arbitrary (by default)
  • Freedman-Diaconis
  • Optimal
  • Scott
  • Sturges
  • Venables-Ripley
• Type – Select which type of histogram you want to create.
  • Frequency - Display number of occurances.
  • Relative frequency - Divide number of occurances by the total number of observations.
  • Scale area to one - Plot density of data. The total area of the histogram is normalized to 1.
• Values – Select the outputs you wish to include in the histogram.
