Hi all,
I’m plotting the histogram of a data set:
x = datalist
bins= 100
hist(x,bins,normed=0) #returns a tupple (n,bins,patches)
Rather trivial… but instead of the plotting the counts n, I’d like to plot the realtive percentage counts, i.e. n/len(x). I can’t really use the option normed = 1 which plots n/(len(x)*dbins). I guess the simplest way would be to simply change the yticklabels (by dividing them by len(x)). The thing is that I simply cannot find out how to do this…
I tried using the axes.set_yticklabels() but doesn’t work. I’ve also tried to find the child containing the label but couldn’t find it (not in Axes, nor in YAxis etc…). I guess it must be a Text instance.
Can anyone give me a
hint,
Cheers,
Aure

Hi Aure,
You could try:
ax.set_yticklabels(ax.get_yticks()/len(x))

You can set your own custom tick formatter:
import matplotlib.ticker as ticker
N = len(x)
def fmt_percent(x, pos=None):
return '%1.2f'%(float(x)/N)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(ticker.FuncFormatter(fmt_percent)). See
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/custom_ticker1.py for a
complete example.
