{title:Description}

{pstd}
{cmd:twoway__histogram_gen} generates a variable containing densities,
frequencies or fractions of the occurrence of bins (class intervals) of
{it:varname}.

{pstd}
This tool was written for generating histograms, see {helpb twoway histogram}.


{title:Options}

{phang}
{it:discrete_options} affect the parameters needed to draw a discrete
histogram.  See {helpb histogram} for more details.

{phang}
{it:continuous_options} affect the parameters needed to draw a continuous
histogram.  See {helpb histogram} for more details.

{phang}
{cmd:density},
{cmd:fraction}, and
{cmd:frequency}
    are alternatives.  They specify whether you want the histogram scaled to
    density units, fractional units, or frequency.  {cmd:density} is the
    default.  See {helpb histogram} for more details.

{phang}
{cmd:generate(}{it:h} {it:x} [{cmd:,} {cmd:replace}]{cmd:)} specifies the
names of the variables to generate.  The height of each bin will be placed in
{it:h}, and the center of each bin will be placed in {it:x}.  The
{cmd:replace} option indicates that these variables may be replaced if they
already exist.

{phang}
{cmd:display} indicates that a short note be displayed indicating the number of
bins, the lower limit of the first bin, and the width of the bins.  The output
displayed is determined by whether the {cmd:discrete} option was specified.


{title:Saved results}

{pstd}
{cmd:twoway__histogram_gen} saves in {cmd:r()}:

{pstd}
Scalars:

	 {cmd:r(N)}      number of observations
	 {cmd:r(bin)}    number of bins
	 {cmd:r(width)}  common width of the bins
	 {cmd:r(start)}  {cmd:start()} value or minimum value of {it:varname}
	 {cmd:r(min)}    lower limit of the first non-empty bin
	 {cmd:r(max)}    upper limit of the last bin
	 {cmd:r(area)}   area of the bars

{pstd}
Macros:

	 {cmd:r(type)}   "density", "fraction" or "frequency"
