I think what you are looking for is either a fit (like a Gaussian fit in this case), see one of my older posts: [Fitting a 1D distribution using Gaussian Mixtures](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/fitting-a-1d-distribution-using-gaussian-mixtures/28113) or a kernel density estimation [https://github.com/JuliaStats/KernelDensity.jl](https://github.com/JuliaStats/KernelDensity.jl)

This task should not be done by a plotting library if you ask me 😉
