Here we show a quick and easy way to create and draw an histogram using gnuplot starting from raw data.
This is the command you have to use:
bw = 2 #substitute what you want
bin(x,width)=width*floor(x/width)
plot 'data.dat' using (bin($2,bw)):(1.0) smooth freq with boxes
And this is the output:
file "data.dat" exemple:
1 1
2 3
4 12
5 6
