MORE INFORMATION

PairedHistogram by default plots a paired histogram with equal bin widths chosen to approximate an assumed underlying smooth distribution of the values and .

The following bin width specifications bspec can be given:

	n	use n bins
	{dx}	use bins of width dx
	{x_min,x_max,dx}	use bins of width dx from to
	{{b₁,b₂,...}}	use the bins
	Automatic	determine bin widths automatically
	"name"	use a named binning method
	{"Log",bspec}	apply binning bspec on log transformed data
	fb	apply fb to get an explicit bin specification

The binning specification is taken to use the Automatic underlying binning method.

Possible named binning methods include:

	"Sturges"	compute the number of bins based on the length of data
	"Scott"	asymptotically minimize the mean square error
	"FreedmanDiaconis"	twice the interquartile range divided by the cube root of sample size
	"Knuth"	balance likelihood and prior probability of a piecewise uniform model
	"Wand"	one-level recursive approximate Wand binning

The function fb in PairedHistogram is applied to a list of all and , and should return an explicit bin list .

Different forms of histogram can be obtained by giving different bin height specifications hspec in PairedHistogram. The following forms can be used:

	"Count"	the number of values lying in each bin
	"CumulativeCount"	cumulative counts
	"SurvivalCount"	survival counts
	"Probability"	fraction of values lying in each bin
	"PDF"	probability density function
	"CDF"	cumulative distribution function
	"SF"	survival function
	"HF"	hazard function
	"CHF"	cumulative hazard function
	{"Log",hspec}	log transformed height specification
	fh	heights obtained by applying fh to bins and counts

The function fh in PairedHistogram is applied to two arguments: a list of bins , and corresponding list of counts . The function should return a list of heights to be used for each of the .

Only values that are real numbers are assigned to bins; others are taken to be missing.

In PairedHistogram, automatic bin locations are determined by combining all the datasets and .

PairedHistogram renders the histogram elements associated with dataset according to the specification defined by the symbolic wrapper .

Possible symbolic wrappers are the same as for BarChart, and include Style, Labeled, Legended, etc.

PairedHistogram has the same options as Graphics with the following additions and changes:

AspectRatio	1/GoldenRatio	overall ratio of width to height
Axes	True	whether to draw axes
BarOrigin	Bottom	origin of histogram bars
ChartBaseStyle	Automatic	overall style for bars
ChartElementFunction	Automatic	how to generate raw graphics for bars
ChartElements	Automatic	graphics to use in each of the bars
ChartLabels	None	category labels for datasets
ChartLayout	Automatic	overall layout to use
ChartStyle	Automatic	style for bars
ChartLegends	None	legends for data elements and datasets
ColorFunction	Automatic	how to color bars
ColorFunctionScaling	True	whether to normalize arguments to ColorFunction
LabelingFunction	Automatic	how to label elements
LegendAppearance	Automatic	overall appearance of legends
PerformanceGoal	$PerformanceGoal	aspects of performance to try to optimize
ScalingFunctions	None	how to scale individual coordinates

Possible settings for ChartLayout include and .

The arguments supplied to ChartElementFunction are the bin region , the bin values lists, and metadata from each level in a nested list of datasets.

A list of built-in settings for ChartElementFunction can be obtained from .

The argument supplied to ColorFunction is the height for each bin.

With ScalingFunctions, the x coordinate is scaled using , etc.

Style and other specifications from options and other constructs in BarChart are effectively applied in the order ChartStyle, ColorFunction, Style and other wrappers, ChartElements, and ChartElementFunction, with later specifications overriding earlier ones.

Create a pictorial chart based on any Graphics object:

Graphics3D:

Image:

Use a stretched version of the graphic:

Use explicit sizes for width and height:

Without AspectRatio->Full, the original aspect ratio is preserved:

Using All for width or height causes that direction to stretch to the full size of the bar:

Use a different graphic for each side of the chart:

Use a different graphic for each row of data:

Styles are inherited from styles set through ChartStyle etc.:

Explicit styles set in the graphic will override other style settings:

The orientation of the pictorial graphic is unaffected by BarOrigin:
