Frequency distribution (with associated samples)

The data range of the y-axis is determined by the minimum value to the maximum value of the timeseries. The frequency of the frequencies of the available values are counted and are plotted within the range intervals. The selected sample determines in how many range intervals the data range should be divided into and therefor the width of the range intervalsa number of bins to create a frequency distribution. The number of bins can be selected using the slider. The data range that is covered by the bins can be changed as follows. Clicking the "Set boundaries" button brings up the "Set boundaries" dialog. In this dialog the lowest bin boundary and the highest bin boundary can be changed. The space between these two boundaries is divided regularly into the selected number of bins. Initially the boundaries are in automatic mode. In automatic mode for each time series the minimum data value and the maximum data value are used as boundaries. When the user selects new boundaries manually, then the new boundaries will be used instead, i.e. manual mode. In manual mode the boundaries are fixed and the same boundaries are used for all time series, until they are changed again. This makes comparisons between different time series possible. When the user clicks the "Automatic" button, then the boundaries will be in automatic mode again.

In manual mode the selected boundaries are remembered. This means that when the user closes and re-opens the time series display or starts working in another separate time series display, then in manual mode the previously selected boundaries will still be used for new frequency distributions. The mode will also be the same for all time series displays.
