      Histogram

      This comprehensive guide will cover everything that needs to be known about the Histogram element in Mokkup.

      When to Use?

      A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data. It is a type of bar chart that shows the frequency or number of observations within different numerical ranges, called bins. The histogram provides a visual representation of the distribution of the data, showing the number of observations that fall within each bin.

      Here are some of the benefits of using histograms:

      • They can be used to identify patterns and trends in data. 
      • They can be used to make comparisons between different datasets. 
      • They can be used to identify outliers in data. Histograms can be used to identify outliers by looking for bars that are much taller or shorter than the other bars in the histogram.

      How to Create?

      There are two ways to use the Histogram in Mokkup.
