Matplotlib normalized histograms
Raw
README.md

This creates a normalized mass density histogram in matplotlib

bins = np.linspace(-1, 1, 101)
# To get a normalized mass density histogram, we have to do it this way...
hist, bins = np.histogram(df['some_column'], bins=bins, density=True)
hist /= len(bins)
width = bins[1]-bins[0]
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4))
ax = fig.add_axes([.15, .15, .75, .75])
plt.bar(left=bins[:-1], height=hist, width=width)
