PlottableProtocol provides a way to plot in different libraries, and easy access to common quantities. This is expected to be the final release for Python 2, and mostly equivalent in API to 1.0.

User changes#

  • Support for PlottableProtocol. You can now access .values(), .counts(), and .variances() on all storages; used by plotting libraries. .kind describes the Kind of the histogram (bh.Kind.COUNT or bh.Kind.MEAN). .options has been renamed to .traits, and a few more useful traits were added, like .discrete. Most other portions of the Protocol were already present. #476

  • Fixed issue if final bin of Variable histogram was infinite by updating to Boost 1.75 #470

Version 0.6.0#
