A Histogram Plot is a basic visualization for showing the distribution of values for a single metric.
On the
Histogram Plot, the X-axis contains bars with
binned data reflecting ranges of attribute values. Values are left inclusive
and right exclusive, except the last bin which is right inclusive. For example,
the first bin might reflect values between 0 and 29, the second bin values
between 30 and 59, and the last bin might include values from 60-90. The Y-axis
shows the number of records with values that fall within each range of values.
About using a Histogram Plot
Mousing over the bar for a bin displays the range of values for the bin, as well as the record count for the bin.
You can refine displayed data by clicking a the bar for a single bin, or by clicking and dragging to select a set of bins, then clicking a second time to apply the selection as a refinement. Alternately, hold the CTRL key and select multiple bins, then click Apply refinements in the selection box when finished. You can also select or multi-select values directly from the X-axis.
Selected refinements display in the Selected Refinements Panel and can be toggled to set them as negative refinements. See About the Selected Refinements panel for details.
