Histogram plots in Lightning

Setup



In [1]:

    
import os
from lightning import Lightning

from numpy import random



In [2]:

    
lgn = Lightning(ipython=True, host='http://public.lightning-viz.org')









    




Lightning initialized






    



Connected to server at http://public.lightning-viz.org

We'll generate some normally distributed values and make a histogram



In [3]:

    
values = random.randn(100)
lgn.histogram(values, 10, zoom=False)









    Out[3]:

Change the number of bins



In [4]:

    
lgn.histogram(values, 50, zoom=False)









    Out[4]:

If we turn on zooming, we can change the number of bins dynamically by zooming in and out -- try it!



In [5]:

    
lgn.histogram(values, 25, zoom=True)









    Out[5]:
