I have two lists that I would like to plot as two separate histograms inside the same
plot. However
pylab.hist(h1list,26,facecolor='r')
pylab.hist(h2list,26,alpha=0.3)
pylab.show()
seems to plot the two histograms with different x-y limits on the axis. Also how can
I force the bins to have the same start and end?
Cheers

Tommy: Use the 'bins' keyword to pylab.hist (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-hist).

Thanks. I noticed that on my own and for the first time in my python programming history
used a list comprehension to generate the bins list 
The histograms are now displayed
correctly.
Cheers
