You probably need to use hist with output arguments:

[counts,centers] = hist(x);

That will give you the ‘counts’ over a range of x values given by the ‘centers’ variable. See the documentation for hist on how to use the bar plot function to plot the result.

For example:

figure(1)
bar(centers,counts)

will do what you want.

Thanks for the quick reply. One more doubt, As I mentioned x is a column, let's say "speed". Which axis is exactly represent the speed, Counts or center? Thanks again!

My pleasure!

In this instance, ‘speed’ would be ‘centers’.
