Although it is not an exact histogram, if you are you looking for a Pythonic alternative you might consider using Mayavi. It has ready barchart plotting functionality. Probably with some effort a 2D histogram as you linked might be created. http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/auto/mlab_helper_functions.html#barchart -- Gökhan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
