=============
Hello,
I'm working with some discrete probability functions and plotting them using
ListPlot. Given the nature of the function, I believe its clearest to
represent the values using bars rather than points. I know there's a BarChart
function, but it isn't as easy to use (e.g. you can't just give it a list of
x, y coordinates and you can't easily have overlaying datasets, they sit next
to each other).
I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and/or has any
suggestions on how to solve it. For example, are there options I can set that
will give me the desired behavior?
Thanks for your time in this matter,
Sincerely,
Mike
