MATLAB: Want to retain location in a histogram plot

histhistogramlocation of values

I have plotted a histogram using the hist function in MATLAB however, I want to find out the original location of the values in the various bins when they were in my original vector. How do I go about doing that?

Best Answer

Use the histc function instead of hist to do that. From the histc documentation:
  • [bincounts,ind]= histc(_) returns ind, an array the same size as x indicating the bin number that each entry in x sorts into. Use this syntax with any of the previous input argument combinations.
