How to fit a normal distribution curve to a bar graph?

10 views (last 30 days)
I have a bar plot and I tried fitting a Gaussian distribution curve using normpdf, but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?
lx = linspace(1,32,32);
figure(1)
hold on
bar(diftn)
plot(lx,normpdf(diftn))

One way,
load diftn
x=(1:numel(diftn))';
fobj=fit(x,diftn,'gauss1');
plot(fobj,x,diftn)
