How to set the Bin width of the histogram ?

271 views (last 30 days)
I am setting the bin width to 0.05 as can be in seen in the code snipet below
h1 = histogram(Data);
h1.Normalization = 'probability';
h1.BinWidth = 0.05;
But the histogram does not set the bin width to 0.05. It varies every time I run the function.
Please help.

This code set the bin width to 0.05 for me, as expected.
Data = rand(100,1);
h1 = histogram(Data);
h1.Normalization = 'probability';
h1.BinWidth = 0.05;
Can you upload an example of the variable Data that exhibits the problem?

How to set the bin width and bin edges simulataneously. Please help.

If you define the edges, then the widths are determined by the differences between the edges. I don't see how your question makes sense.
Also, you might want to ask a new question. The way you entered this, it is appearing as an "answer" to another question.

If you're explicitly setting the bin edges, that fixes the bin widths (potentially to non-uniform values.) So just set the edges.
