I'm playing around with matplotlib for the first time. I'm trying to make a very simple histogram of values 1-6 and how many times they occur in a sequence. However, after about an hour of searching I cannot make the histogram stay within the bounds of the grid lines.
Here is my example: pylab.grid() x_values=[1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,6,6,6] pylab.hist(x_values,6) pylab.show() This produced the following image: http://enigmacurry.com/usenet/historgram-bars-not-in-grid-lines.png Starting with bar number 2, it creeps into grid 1.. and finally with bar number 5 it's almost entirely in grid 4.. how do I make the bars stay in their own grid lines? I can see that hist() is somehow derived from bar() ... so it appears that hist() has some undocumented parameters. I tried specifiying width=1 but that just squished all of the bars together. Also, is there a more object-oriented graphing package for Python? (How am I supposed to know that hist() is derived from bar() if the docs don't show proper inheritance?)
