• Confused about how to make the histogram chart you want?
• Want to make your histogram charts more professional?
• Need a fast, effortless tool that helps you create and modify histogram charts?

The Histogram Creator makes creating presentation quality histograms easy.  It comes with an exercise file that lets you learn quickly and easily how to use the Histogram Creator's features. The exercise file can be easily opened from the About menu or from the main Histogram Creator menu.

The Histogram Creator is totally menu driven and very fast.  It gives you full control of the bin size and step size for great looking output as illustrated by the following graph:

In addition to creating histograms like the one above, the Histogram Creator creates cumulative frequency tables.  Another feature allows you to type in any value and see what percent of the data points are less than the value and what percent is greater.  The Histogram Creator easily handles error values in the data.

 The Histogram Creator cannot only create single histograms from a range of data, it can also create multiple histograms automatically.  You have the option of specifying the minimum and maximum values for the range covered by the bins and either the bin step size or the number of bins.  Values outside the minimum and maximum range are captured in the additional bins that are automatically added.  One of the features that assists in this process creates an initial table of the values so that you can easily modify if necessary. The menu that gives you this feature has the following appearance:

Another feature of the Histogram Creator allows you to:

• Exclude data points that are less than or equal to a given value
• Or exclude data points that are greater than a given value

The first option is extremely useful if most of your data values are zero and you are trying to get the distribution of the non-zero values.  The second allows you to easily exclude fliers.

The Histogram Creator comes with an exercise file and sample data.  The exercise file has sample exercise that show you how to use each of the features in the above dialog.
