SBHistogram generates simple histograms from simple ASCII data files. It's a simple tool designed to be easy to use.
A histogram is a chart in which data values in counted and placed into buckets. For example, let's assume you want to do a histogram of peoples ages. Then you might want to use buckets such as 1-10 years, 11-20 years, 21-30 years, etc. Each bucket counts the number of data items that fall into it's range. The buckets are then displayed in a bar chart.
SBHistogram expects your input file to be a plain ascii text with one histogram item per line. There can be additional "junk" on the line after the data value, but the data value must be the first thing that appears on each text line.
SBHistogram will output either text files or BMP images of the histogram graph.
Main Features :
- Bucket Count: the number of histogram bars that will be on the histogram graph
- Bucket Size: the number of data values that ae represented by a histogram bar
- Starting Bucket: the first histogram bar will start with this value
- Include buckets with count zero: If this is checked, then empty buckets will be displayed in the graph. Including empty buckets is usually desired as it allows the x-axis of the graph to be proportional. If you turn off empty buckets, then the X-axis will "skip" those buckets that are empty.
