Ahah, right you are. I wonder why someone hasn't written a full purpose
histogram plotting tool with shading and other nice features? Maybe
somebody has... My routines which plot histograms look very, very sad
with all that half bin offsetting malarkey. It's pretty bad when the
HISTOGRAM calls themselves are easier to read and interpret than the code
to plot their results.
