Histogram

The histogram plot can be used to represent arrays of data. Currently it can be used to represent patterns of activity in the neurons in a neuron group or synaptic strengths in a synapse group. It partitions the data in to "bins", where each bin shows how many values in the total array are in that range. For example, in a set of 20 synapses, if 10 synapses have a strength between 0 and 1 and another 10 have a strength between -1 and 0, then we would have two bins of the same height. The same panel is also embedded in the Synapse Adjustment panel, where the strengths of a selected group of synapses are displayed and adjusted. As with other plots, several simultaneous datasets (histograms) can be displayed. Unlike other plots, the number of datasets that can be displayed can be dynamically changed. All histogram plot components are restricted to representing 4 histograms. To represented more data open another histogram plot.

Component Panel

Clear: Clear the current data. Note that empty data appears as a thin vertical cline at 0.
