Pandas : histogram with fixed width [closed]

Question

I have data which I want to do an histogram, but I want the histogram to start from a given value and the width of a bar to be fixed. For example, for the serie [1, 3, 5, 10, 12, 20, 21, 25], I want, instead of

>>> p.Series([1, 3, 5, 10, 12, 20, 21, 25]).hist(bins=3).figure

#  |       |
#  |   |   |
#  |   |   |
#  0   8.5 17

I want the bars to have a width of 10 :

|       |
|   |   |
|   |   |
0   10  20

How can I do that ?

EDIT : I eventually get what I wanted

Answer 1

I think

p.Series([1, 3, 5, 10, 12, 20, 21, 25]).hist(bins=[0, 10, 20, 30]).figure

will do what you want. Alternately you can do

p.Series([1, 3, 5, 10, 12, 20, 21, 25]).hist(bins=3, range=(0,30)).figure

See documentation for hist and the documentation for np.histogram.

I suspect you are also running into some issues because it is labeling the center of the bins, not the edges.
