Hi

Here's how I solved this problem: I taylored the number of bins to the
data.

protected void addSeriesToDataSet(HistogramGenerator.HistogramSeries series)
{
	double[] values = series.getValues();
	if(values.length==0)
	{
		//no data? I'll let HistogramGenerator handle it ;)
		super.addSeriesToDataSet(series);
		return;
	}
	double v = values[0];
	double min = v;
	double max = v;
	for(int i=1;i<values.length;i++)
	{
		v = values[i];
		if(v<min) min = v;
		if(v>max) max = v;
	}
	int bins = (int)(max - min +1);
	dataset.addSeries(series.getName(), values, bins);
}


This is part of a HistogramGenerator class extension with "UnitWideBin"
in the name :)

hope this helps,
Gabriel
