Hello,

I am struggling with a way to create bins for a variable containing
length data.  I would like to create 10cm bins from 0 to the maximum
length.  I would then like to plot count data as a histogram by these
length bins.

the data look like this:
length     count
12           1
13           5
22           2
24           1
26           3
720         2

thank you for any suggestions!

You can easily create bins of any size with the mod function.  This example 
creates 10 cm bins, but to create 5 cm bins change 10 to 5, etc.

length_bin=length - mod(length,10);
