Hi,

h1=histogram(...)
h2=histogram(...)

hn1=h1/total(h1)
hn2=h2/total(h2)
b1=barplot(hn1,index=0,nbars=2)
b2=barplot(hn2,index=1,nbars=2,fill_color='b',overplot=b1)

for more details on formating, see
http://www.harrisgeospatial.com/docs/barplot.html

or alternatively if you don't need the normalization and just want to
fit both histograms with appropriate scales into the same graphics

b3=barplot(h1,index=0,nbars=2,yrange=[0,max(h1)*1.1])
b4=barplot(h2,index=1,nbars=2,yrange=[0,max(h2)*1.1], $
overplot=b3,fill_color='b')
a2=axis('y',target=b4,location=right,textpos=1,color='b',sho wtext=1)

for details on additional axes, see
http://www.harrisgeospatial.com/docs/AXIS.html

Both versions are not tested, but should at least give you an idea how
to proceed.

Good luck, Markus
