Thanks for that. This actually led me here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram which gives a bunch of
different ways to estimate the number of bins/binsize. It might be
worth looking at one of these in general. However, ironically enough,
I notice that when the number of bins in a histogram is sparse, the spacing
between the bins can be irregular. For example:

Is there a way of normalizing this, and better, can the default behavior result
in something more

If there are only 7 possible values of the data, which are
evenly-spaced, it should probably not go in and create more than 6
bins as the default behavior. I know I can specify bins by
