Hmmno... The labels on a stem-and-leaf plots are the values. This is just the measurement number: Observations #2,5,6,9 from level 1 had a temperature between 89 and 90, making up the penultimate column of that histogram. I would conjecture that, like stem-and-leaf, this has fallen out of favour

I'm looking for a histogram variant in which data points are plotted as labelled rectangles 'piled up' to form a histogram. I've posted an example at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ozi8bhdn5kqaufm/labelled_histogram.png?dl=0 It seems to have a long pedigree, as I see it (as in this example) in docum
