How can I specify the binwidth in a Gadfly histogram? I don’t see it in [the docs](http://gadflyjl.org/stable/lib/statistics/#Gadfly.Stat.histogram).

You can specify the bin count, as seen on [this docs page](http://gadflyjl.org/v0.5/lib/geoms/geom_histogram.html#Arguments-1).

Perhaps you could get the intended effects by calculating the count based on your x-axis.

Hope this helps. Feel free to post the code snippet you need help with, maybe it’ll enable us to provide better advice.
