Use a handle to return the information from the histogram function, then get the values you want:

figure
hh = histogram(x);
edges = hh.BinEdges;
counts = hh.BinCounts;
values = hh.Values;

See the documentation on Histogram Properties (link) for a list of all of them.

Alternately if you just need the edges and counts data but don't need and/or want the picture, call histcounts instead of histogram.

Thank you both !!

As always, our pleasure!

What's the difference between BinCounts and Values? They seem to be the same.

It’s an example of how to get various data from the function.
