numpy直方图和pylab直方图的比较

直方图(histogram)

NumPy中histogram函数应用到一个数组返回一对变量：直方图数组和箱式向量。注意：matplotlib也有一个用来建立直方图的函数(叫作hist,正如matlab中一样)与NumPy中的不同。主要的差别是pylab.hist自动绘制直方图，而numpy.histogram仅仅产生数据。

import numpy
import pylab
# Build a vector of 10000 normal deviates with variance 0.5^2 and mean 2
mu, sigma = 2, 0.5
v = numpy.random.normal(mu,sigma,10000)
# Plot a normalized histogram with 50 bins
pylab.hist(v, bins=50, normed=1)       # matplotlib version (plot)
pylab.show()
# Compute the histogram with numpy and then plot it
(n, bins) = numpy.histogram(v, bins=50, normed=True)  # NumPy version (no plot)
pylab.plot(.5*(bins[1:]+bins[:-1]), n)
pylab.show()
