adjustment of the histogram bar's thickness

data=[-0.00044;0.01355;0.00755;0.00455;0.01555;0.01955;0.00555;0.00455;0.01755;0.01655];
figure;
hist(data)

%I need to reduce the bars thickness of histogram

Answer 1

[dpb]

Use bar instead; much simpler to control...

[n,x]=hist(data);
h=bar(x,n);

doc bar  % for the rest of the details...

To make bars narrower or less thick, adjust the barwidth property between 0 and 1

bar(binCenters, binHeights, 'BarWidth', 0.3); % Narrow bars
bar(binCenters, binHeights, 'BarWidth', 1.0); % Widest possible bars

It is possible for bars to be wider than 1.0.

 y = randn(10000,1);
 histf(y,'barwidth',1.5)

produces this:

To see it a bit more clearly (pun?), make the bars semitransparent:

 y = randn(10000,1);
 histf(y,'barwidth',1.5,'alpha',.5)

I've plotted the above with histf but barwidth exceeding 1.0 is also possible with bar.

Or histf.
