Pdf plot

I have binary files containing some discrete data. I need to calculate the probability density function (pdf) and plot the same. Do I need to unpack the data files? How? For plotting the pdf what module is easier?

Hi,

I'd recommend to load the binary data and store it as a numpy

ndarray,

If your data is one-dimensional you can simply use

matplotlib.pyplot.hist,
to plot the histogram. The ‘normed’ keyword argument allows
matplotlib to normalize the histogram so that the plot will show the
pdf. In order to unpack the data-files you need to know the binary
format. Can you please provide more information about that.
Best,
Benjamin
