the 'bins' argument to pylab.hist() is supposed to be an integer or a
list of the bins' lower edges. The default value is 10, more than
that gives smaller bins, as one would expect. Take a look at the
pylab.hist documentation (you can do 'print pylab.hist.__do c__' from
the command interpreter).
You should have no problem plotting a hist of floats. Try this:
import numpy
import pylab
from numpy import *
from pylab import *
data=[0.99,0.98,0.98, 0.98,0.97,0.93, 0.92,0.92,0.83, 0.66,0.50,0.50]
input_hist=arra y(data)
pylab.hist(inpu t_hist)
pylab.show()
The last line will display the actual histogram. See the difference
pylab.show and pylab.ion functions.
In the future, it is advisable to post these questions to the
matplotlib or the numpy/scipy users mailing lists.
