I don't understand how a "histogram for a string variable" has any meaning.
A histogram groups numbers into ranges - you can't "group strings into ranges",
because a string does not contain quantative information.
Slightly more formally, a histogram is an approximation to a probability
distribution. Probability distributions only has a meaning for continuous
variables. Strings are not continuous variables.
Perhaps you have misunderstood your class requirements (or perhaps the lecturer
is asking you a trick question to make sure you are alert!)

Hi everyone,
I trying PSPP for the first the, in place of SPSS.
I'm a student, and I can afford to go to the school lab everyday
for SPSS work.
So, I,m tryting PSPP 0.7.9 included with Ubuntu 13.10
I trying to do histogram of the gender distribution on a pretty
small echantillon.
I read on a lot of forum that PSPP doesn't output histogram for
string variable.
Unfortunatly is a requirement for the class.
I would like to see if it's possible to save the PSPP file in
LibreOffice Calc to do it.
Actually, I use R to do the job.
Thank you
Denis Bergeron
