Folk (yes, me again..),
I've got a dataset that I'm trying to Plot with the X axis defined as
histogram-ish buckets and the Y axis as the integer values but I'm having
problems getting the X axis as I'd like.
data = {{"0 - <1ms", 113}, {"1 - <2ms", 19}, {"2 - <4ms", 176}, {"4 - <6ms",
243}, {"6 - <8ms", 260}, {"8 - <10ms", 167}, {"10 - <12ms",
65}, {"12 - <16ms", 41}, {"16 - <20ms", 13}, {"20 - <30ms",
7}, {"30 - <40ms", 0}, {"40 - <50ms", 1}, {"50 - <60ms",
0}, {"60 - <70ms", 0}, {"70 - <80ms", 0}, {"80 - <90ms",
0}, {"90 - <100ms", 1}, {"100 - <120ms", 1}, {"120 - <140ms",
0}, {"140 - <160ms", 0}, {"160 - <180ms", 1}, {"180 - <200ms",
0}, {"200 - <400ms", 2}, {"400 - <600ms", 0}, {"600 - <800ms",
0}, {"800 - <1000ms", 0}, {"1000 - <1500ms", 0}, {"1500 - <2000ms",
0}, {"2000 - <2500ms", 0}, {"2500 - <3000ms", 0}, {"3000 - <3500ms",
0}, {"3500 - <4000ms", 0}, {"4000 - <8000ms", 0}, {"8000 - <12000ms",
0}, {"12000 - <16000ms", 0}, {">16000ms", 0}};
I'm ultimately looking to graph multiple of these datasets on the same plot
with a unique color for the y in each inner {x,y} pair, the x should define
which "bucket" the work fits into and the y value how many times this
workload fit into the bucket.
Can I beg for some examples of how to do this? I can readily pull out the x
or y values using Transpose and graph those but they always end up on the X
axis instead of the Y.. Histogram[] gets me closer but I believe it is
trying to do more automatically than is necessary since the dataset already
defines the bins and values.
Is this a situation where the plot needs to be built up by hand using
Graphics[]?
Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided.
