[ncl-talk] Bar Graph/Histogram plot question

[Barry Lynn]

Hi:

I have data specified as below.

I adapted code from this page:

https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/histo.shtml

Example # 6.

I set x = "Obs" and y = "Forecast" below.

The plot I get spreads the obs and forecast data on the x axis (where the x
axis conforms to the value of each).

The y axis is labeled "Frequency."

However, this is not a histogram/bar graph I am familiar with.  I am not
sure how frequency is calculated (perhaps out of the total). In any case, I
want to plot the x axis as intervals of 0 to 100 (by 10).  I want the
y-axis to show the values in the obs/forecasts that conform to these
intervals.  (Kaleidagraph can do this easily, but that's not the point
(obviously)).

I see no such example of how to do this  -- even though this is often how
bar graphs are presented.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Barry

  z = new((/2,dimsizes(x)/),integer)
  z(0,:) = x
  z(1,:) = y

Percent, Obs, Forecast

    0    0.0,    0.0,

    1  227.0,  212.2,

    4  375.0,  176.7,

    8  201.0,  141.1,

   12   62.0,  143.2,

   18   26.0,  327.5,

   24    6.0,  199.5,

   30    1.0,   50.2,

   36    2.0,    9.4,

  100    0.0,    4.0,
