I'm not sure I have a good use for it, either. I like to use
two colors of very similar hue, just to make it easier to
distinguish the individual values of the histogram. I can see
how it doesn't make any sense. That's why it's an optional
keyword. ;-)

No.

As soon as things start getting as complicated as this,
I bow out. I like to think of the programs on my web page
as places to *start*, not necessarily as places to end up,
although a few of those programs have acquired that status
over the years.
Cheers,
David

Hi, David
This is a nice replacement for plothist from idlastro.I am interested
to see new features like polycolor keyword. However I can see little
use of that(multiple colors) for my taste unless if I have a
convenient way of text labeling the X-axis and using maybe colored
legends .Is it possible to make nice looking histogram without fire up
ooo or exel? Hmm, I hate to play with those ticktext tickformat
keywords for this purpose.
regards,
bp
BTW: for those of you who are used to plothist, there's a bug of
missing color/fcolor keywords in overplot.
