关于python中plt.hist参数的使用详解

 matplotlib.pyplot.hist( 
  x, bins=10, range=None, normed=False,  
  weights=None, cumulative=False, bottom=None,  
  histtype=u'bar', align=u'mid', orientation=u'vertical',  
  rwidth=None, log=False, color=None, label=None, stacked=False,  
  hold=None, **kwargs) 

  """ 
  Demo of the histogram (hist) function with a few features. 
   
  In addition to the basic histogram, this demo shows a few optional features: 
   
    * Setting the number of data bins 
    * The ``normed`` flag, which normalizes bin heights so that the integral of 
     the histogram is 1. The resulting histogram is a probability density. 
    * Setting the face color of the bars 
    * Setting the opacity (alpha value).
