## Overview

We can plot in [Julia](https://www.educative.io/answers/what-is-julia---modules-and-packages) using various packages like `pyplot`, `plotly`, and so on. `Plots.jl` is one such package using which we can plot in Julia.

`Plots.jl` can be installed using the following commands:

```
import Pkg;
Pkg.add("Plots")
```

The first command imports the package manager. The second command downloads and installs the package.

To use the package, execute the following command:

```
using Plots
```

## Bar graph

In Julia, a bar graph is created using the `bar()` function of the `Plots` package:

## Syntax

```
using Plots
bar(x, y)
```

## Parameters

- `x`: These are the data points along the `x` dimension.
- `y`: These are the data points along the `y` dimension.



## Example

using Plots

x = [1,2,3]
y = [4,5,6]

bar(x,y)
savefig("output/plot.png")

julia


## Explanation

- **Line 1:** We import the `Plots` package.
- **Line 3:** The x-dimension data points are defined.
- **Line 4:** The y-dimension data points are defined.
- **Line 6:**  A bar graph is created using the `bar()` function.
- **Line 7:** The plot is saved to the local disk as `plot.png`.

## Histogram

We can create a histogram in Julia using the `histogram()` function of the `Plots` package.

## Syntax

```
using Plots

histogram(x, nbins, weights, normalize)
```

## Parameters

- `x`:  These are the data points to be plotted.
- `nbins`: This is an integer or vector that defines the number of bins to place the input data points.
- `weights`: This is a vector that defines the weights for the data points.
- `normalize`: This is a boolean value indicating whether or not to normalize the data points. The default value is `false`. This denotes that no normalization is performed.


## Example

using Plots

data = randn(1000)

histogram(data, nbins=20)
savefig("output/plot.png")


## Explanation

- **Line 1:** We import the `Plots` package.
- **Line 3:**  The data points to be plotted are defined.
- **Line 5:** A histogram is created using the `histogram()` function, where the number of bins is set to `20`.
- **Line 6:** The plot is saved to the local disk as `plot.png`.

How to create bar graph and histogram in Julia?

Use Plots.jl in Julia to create bar graphs with `bar(x, y)` and histograms with `histogram(x, nbins)`.
