Example of a histogram

Create Histogram option from the menu.
- Press the
- The task panel is opened.
- Press the Add data from button, select a pipeline or filter as a data source and one of two types of histograms from the drop-down list:
add FieldData - uses selected output variable and results from all nodes, the X-axis shows the output variable values while the Y-axis shows the number of nodes so the plot visualizes how many nodes have a given value of output variable; if the One field for each frame checkbox is enabled, there are separate bars for each frame
add IndexOverFrames - uses selected output variable and results from a node with a specified index (number), the X-axis shows the output variable values while the Y-axis shows number of frames so the plot visualizes how many frames have a given value of output variable at the selected node
- Configure the histogram:
- Press the middle button by default showing Index to set the output data source and index.
- Press the 3rd button from the left by default showing blue rectangle to set the histogram bar and line appearance.
- Press the rightmost button with X symbol to delete the Histogram object.
- Press the OK button to finish.
- Set Histogram view settings - number of Bins, Type, Cumulative (shows how many values fall up to and including each bin - cumulative sum from left to right) or not, Legend and its location and type the labels (Title, X Axis, Y Axis) as well as change the Bar width and Hatch Line Width.
- Press the Show plot button to display the histogram plot.
- Press the Show data button to display a table with data used for the histogram.
