So you want to plot a histogram of your own data (just any data, not benchmarking results) using the histogram from BenchmarkTools?

The relevant code is here:

Although I probably would just use UnicodePlots to create plots in the terminal (either standalone or as a Plots backend):

julia> using UnicodePlots

julia> histogram(randn(10_000), xlabel = "Something", ylabel = "Something else")
