If one plots the histogram of some data in Gadfly everything works fine.
d = randn(250);
plot(x=d, Geom.histogram(bincount=35))
However, providing the limits to plot the histogram of data between -5 and 0
plot(x=d, Geom.histogram(bincount=35, limits=(min=-5, max=0)))
one does not get what expected since the whole distribution is still there but just shifted to the left, as shown below.
I would have expected the histogram to be displayed between min
and max
divided in bincount
bins. Instead, this behavior of the limits
parameter, is quite misleading since it changes the data one is trying to plot.
