P6.3.2: Plotting a histogram with pyplot.bar
Question P6.3.2
We have seen how to create a histogram plot from an array with pyplot.hist
, but suppose you have already created arrays hist
and bins
using np.histogram
and wish to plot the resulting histogram from these arrays. You can't use pyplot.hist
because this function expects to act on the original array of data. Use pyplot.bar
(documented here; see also Section 7.1.2 of the book) to plot a hist
array as a bar-chart.
