HISTOPARM Statement
Displays a univariate histogram for specified values of bin midpoints and bin frequencies, and typically is used to add a histogram to a density plot.

Density Histogram

| Required Arguments |
- X
-
specifies the column for the X values.
Requirement: The values must not be negative. - Y
-
specifies the column for the Y values.
Requirement: The values must be uniformly spaced.
| Options |
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| BACKGROUND= color | style-reference | Specifies the background color of the graph. |
| BACKTRANSPARENCY= number | Specifies the degree of the transparency of the background color. |
| DATATRANSPARENCY=number | Specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars. |
| ENDLABELS= boolean | Specifies whether labels are drawn at the endpoints of the bins. |
| FILL=boolean | Specifies whether the bar interiors are filled. |
| FILLCOLOR=color | style-reference | Specifies the color of the interiors of the bars. |
| ORIENT= HORIZONTAL | VERTICAL | Specifies the orientation of the Y axis and the bars. |
| OUTLINECOLOR= color | style-reference | Specifies the color of the bar outlines. |
| TRANSPARENCY= number | Specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars and background, if displayed in a graph. |
| XAXIS= X | X2 | Specifies whether data is mapped to the primary X axis or to the secondary X (X2) axis. |
| XVALUES= LEFTPOINTS | MIDPOINTS | RIGHTPOINTS | Specifies that the bin values that are provided by the X= column are interpreted as lower endpoints, midpoints, or upper endpoints of the bins. |
| YAXIS= Y | Y2 | Specifies whether data is mapped to the primary Y axis or to the secondary Y (Y2) axis. |
- BACKGROUND= color | style-reference
-
specifies the background color of the graph.
Default: Specified by the GraphBackground:Background style reference. Interaction: Ignored in a LAYOUT OVERLAY block. For information, see Ignored Plot Options in a LAYOUT OVERLAY Block. - BACKTRANSPARENCY= number
-
specifies the degree of the transparency of the background color.
Default: 0 Range: 0 (opaque) to 1 (entirely transparent) Interaction: The BACKTRANSPARENCY= option overrides the TRANSPARENCY= option for the background. Interaction: Ignored in a LAYOUT OVERLAY block. For information, see Ignored Plot Options in a LAYOUT OVERLAY Block. See also: TRANSPARENCY= option - DATATRANSPARENCY= number
-
specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars.
Default: 0 Range: 0 (opaque) to 1 (entirely transparent) Interaction: The DATATRANSPARENCY= option overrides the TRANSPARENCY= option for the bars. See also: TRANSPARENCY= option - ENDLABELS= boolean
-
specifies whether labels are drawn at the endpoints of the bins.
Default: FALSE Interaction: If XAXISOPTS= (TICKS=), then the ENDLABELS= option is overridden. Interaction: If ENDLABELS=FALSE, then the labels are drawn at the midpoints, whether the XVALUES= option identifies the X data as endpoint values or midpoint values. - FILL= boolean
-
specifies whether bar interiors are filled.
Default: TRUE. - FILLCOLOR= color | style-reference
-
specifies the color of the interiors of the bars.
Default: Specified by the GraphDataDefault:Foreground style reference. - ORIENT= HORIZONTAL | VERTICAL
-
specifies the orientation of the Y axis and the bars.
Default: VERTICAL - OUTLINECOLOR= color | style-reference
-
specifies the color of the bar outlines.
Default: Specified by the GraphOutlines:Foreground style reference. - TRANSPARENCY= number
-
specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars and background, if displayed in a graph.
Default: 0 Range: 0 (opaque) to 1 (entirely transparent) Interaction: You can specify the transparency of individual graph elements by using the BACKTRANSPARENCY= and DATATRANSPARENCY= options. The value specified by the TRANSPARENCY= option is only applied to the transparencies that you do not specify individually. Interaction: In a LAYOUT OVERLAY block, the TRANSPARENCY= option only affects the bars. The LAYOUT OVERLAY statement specifies the transparency of the background of the graph. - XAXIS= X | X2
-
specifies whether data is mapped to the primary X axis or to the secondary X (X2) axis.
Default: X Interaction: Outside of a LAYOUT OVERLAY block, an individual plot can have only one X axis. The XAXIS= option of a plot specifies whether the axis is in the primary (bottom) or secondary (top) position. The XAXISOPTS= option of a plot specifies whether the axis is displayed and specifies the axis characteristics. Within a LAYOUT OVERLAY block, multiple plots can share a primary axis and a secondary axis. The primary and secondary axes can have different scales, and the XAXIS= option for a particular plot can map data to either axis. The XAXISOPTS= and X2AXISOPTS= options of a LAYOUT OVERLAY statement specify whether the axes are displayed, and specify the axis characteristics.
- XVALUES= LEFTPOINTS | MIDPOINTS | RIGHTPOINTS
-
specifies that the bin values that are provided by the X= column are interpreted as lower endpoints, midpoints, or upper endpoints of the bins.
Default: MIDPOINTS See also: ENDLABELS= - YAXIS= Y | Y2
-
specifies whether data is mapped to the primary Y axis or to the secondary Y (Y2) axis.
Default: Y Interaction: Within a LAYOUT OVERLAY block, multiple plots can share a primary axis and a secondary axis. The primary and secondary axes can have different scales, and the YAXIS= option for a particular plot can map data to either axis. The YAXISOPTS= and Y2AXISOPTS= options of a LAYOUT OVERLAY statement specify whether the axes are displayed, and specify the axis characteristics.
